Now we will see
what comes next
by unfurling progression
or Nows in succession.
Pick one,
put it in your pocket,
feel it with your fingers
every now and then,
until its edges smooth,
and you use it for warmth.
This Now could Be
more valuable later, grow on you
by inflation of your reflection,
mirroring idea in light,
this is why it startles us
in unexpected color,
a stroke of magenta not man made,
Now speechless,
too beautiful to save.
