Immortal
here and now
in the present
today,
ever after
this day and night
clock strikes, bang!
This second
not yesterday or tomorrow,
this minute
today.
Not past or future,
shillings roll in instant
immediate
on time.
Immortal shakes
never rest,
lose the grip
in split seconds.
Dawn breaks today
only today,
in the present,
the happy ever after
is a con job.
