Creation Proceeds Autophagously

Who cares at the time?
Now is not the time

To care for distance,
The long perspective,

What now will look like
As it eats its way

Back from the recent
To more distant past.

Now is, here and now,
What most people use

To worry or plot
How to handle next.

But don’t you worry.
All of your worries

Will be history
To historians

Worried about what
To write about next.
