Stranded in the Present

Stranded in the Present

the compass
of our future & past
guides us through
our present

for some
born
with a broken compass
there is only
the present
incomprehensibly 
reflected
in the splintered
reflections
of today
yesterday
and tomorrow

for some
utterly
displaced
aimlessly adrift
and stranded
in a present
tethered
to pasts and futures
of water
and wind
