Remember - 05/22/12

Remember three seconds ago
when you breathed?
Remember three minutes ago
when we laughed?
Remember three hours ago
when you thought it
would be so difficult?

Remember three days ago
when the present seemed
as far as the sun's explosion,
when every second was years
until the ceremony,
when each thought
could be put off
over and over and over,
when a day was a lifetime?

Remember three weeks ago
when a month was a week,
when time ran slower
as we sped through tests,
exasperated, anticipating this moment
that now we want for tomorrow?

Remember three years ago
when you stepped
through new doors,
thick halls,
bright classrooms,
with no idea
who anyone was anymore
no idea who you were?
Remember that second
you became the present
or has each second of future
become now
as each of now
becomes past?
