I tried to "live in the moment,"
as recommended
& found that moments stuck
together like hard candies
in hot sun. Other moments
seem to pour in and out
of life like red ants out of
a sizzling nest. Some
moments just evaporate--
gone before I could
even knock on their doors,
let alone live in them. Which
can be okay, as for instance
that moment in the dark
when I stubbed three toes
on an old oak chair.
