Time Frames Poem by Frank DeFulgentis

and so
life presses on
a series of
scattered
conversations
lesser evils
and personal
invitations

small talk
politeness
life goes on
despite this
slightly witty
parade of
tainted sarcasm

no time
to discuss
this thing
too busy
working
conversational
turn taking

if we are lucky
in the midst
of this
ever changing now
a smile or laugh
finds
a way out
somehow
but mostly
we use
windows
of opportunity
to discuss
the weather
or whatever

if love is
a mind virus
poets are
doomed
to success
that is unless
it is words
that cannot be
counted on
perhaps
love is where
we can
be found
our presence
and
nothing more
