People might try to compartmentalize time, moments, 

or processes,

saying here leads to there or this leads to that,

but it’s in an overlap where we are caught–

the ripple of one happening reaches out from a core

and meets the center of another

reaching out.

The past and future may meet us in that overlap of

concentric folds simultaneously extending

inward and outward

providing a terrain of where we may “be”.
