(apropos of either nothing, or something too complicated to put into words)

I wish
instead of focusing just on
"save for a rainy day"
or
"save for a special occasion"
that we -- that I --
had been taught also
how to savor the moment

because sometimes
things cannot be stayed
indefinitely --
objects can go bad, dry out, turn stale
people and situations can change
nothing is forever

and sometimes
we do not have infinite moments
and saving something for tomorrow
does not work
if we run out of tomorrows

sometimes
I need to remember
there is no better moment than now
no better place than here
