there’s no need apologizing for yesterday

then-ing is when-ing
and when-ing is then-ing
and now-ing is always is-ing
on into the salvatory muscling
of our knowning
this numbing crippling massaging of guilt
is dastardly painting the same mind-scape
over and over and over and over
fermenting in tears of the shame-ing
collusively embalming us all with
the same numbing intoxicating potion
anesthetizing in plagiarizing fantasizing
so we all just always be wanting
to be seeming like we nowing in vogue
it’s keeping us keeping on nourishing
and nursing this vulturist ruse
with our shackling enthralling alms to
“how we them-ing themmm then
in all we here doing when”
then-ing is when-ing
and when-ing is then-ing
and now-ing is always is-ing
on into the salvatory muscling
of our knowning
