is easy when looking backward,

Though it’s nearly impossible when you have to move forward.

In my mind, beyond the moment, I can imagine all of the right words and movements,

In my mind, in the moment, I can imagine every unmade mistake.

The present is presently inhabited by a coward,

The past ruled by the wisest sage,

And the future, she belongs to the courageous knight that never existed,

But tomorrow,

Maybe they’ll all meet.
