Elusive present, where does it exist?
Some mathematical place, epsilon
Before and after an event. Persist
And it will disappear, never here, gone.
The present's closer to the past when all
The options have been closed; there was no choice
When it came time to act. No wonder shall
Was just like had, pathetic, ancient voice.
But sometimes present is more like not yet,
The tiny band of epsilon extends
To wide enough. You jump, you swim, you bet
On something new: the recent past still bends.
Accept elusive present, here and gone.
Take aim for tiny bands of epsilon.

First, thanks so much for favoring my The Wrong Writing Life. Second, I've just read and savored your poem here, Elusive Present. A propos, you might check my own poem on a similar theme, called Remembrance of Things Present. It's in my gallery - you can shortcut to it through my Poetry sub-gallery. Cheers.
