In the second stanza should be "Or if not when?" rather than "Of if not when?" From: lit-ideas-bounce@xxxxxxxxxxxxx [mailto:lit-ideas-bounce@xxxxxxxxxxxxx] On Behalf Of Lawrence Helm Sent: Monday, January 19, 2015 7:17 AM To: Lit-Ideas Subject: [lit-ideas] Coming through Coming through I'm never sure Of where I've been or if I've been There never sure of what it was I thought or heard or saw. It is reality of a sort As far as I can tell but Precisely what I never know. Is everything encompassed now Of if not when? Do my thoughts Impose these words or do these words Constrain my thoughts? I've struck The now against the long ago and Within that frisson found An image being chipped. When the concrete's dry I'll walk out, finding The sun glancing from My weak eyes to where I've been. I'll bend down perhaps and grab A tiny stone, a token of there And of a brief being here. _____ <http://www.avast.com/> This email has been checked for viruses by Avast antivirus software. www.avast.com <http://www.avast.com/> --- This email has been checked for viruses by Avast antivirus software. http://www.avast.com
