now what now ?

okay
this is a new now
it's a whole bunch
of new nows
all strung together
now after now after now
etcetera ad infinitum
what now ?
okay now....

what now ?

i was in such
a blessed hurry
to gain patience
why'd it take so long ?

that other now
which we call then
and some future now
which we call when
and all the other nows
don't seem to mind
how they're strung along

then when we
get to when
it then won't
be when then
as when will
then be now

it will certainly
be then when
we reach that
future when
and this now
shall be then but
it won't be then
as when would
then be now

it won't be then
when we reach the end
of all the nows
we've strung together

we'll be then at
yet another now
in that then
we know as when

it shall still be
now of course
when when
and then begin

there is no end
to the beginning
of the string of nows
as at the time
when then meets when
it shall then be now

it's now we
must consider how
to be here now
not then or when
as at the end
of the beginning
it's the beginning
of the end

then then when
when meets then again
there's nothing then 
but to be here now
and now
and now
and now
not then or when

only then is when
to be here now

now....
what now ?
now what now ?
