Oar

(This is the most recent piece in a project that begins here.)

One bracket passes
Another perhaps
Distinguishing one from another is problematic
The pragmatists examine with furrowed brows to define it
The futurists interpret and project
The philosophers reflect, internalise, consider

Externally time is most certainly measured

— Remember One.
Yes, I will
We’ve had so many excursions
It’s comforting to see it still
Parallel
Present
That I would still have access
Permission
– We are all permitted.
And none denied, I would guess
There’s external comfort in assumptions that I have available to distribute
It’s become a plentiful resource
– Do you know where you’ve been?
— Yes.
That’s enough for me
A particular facilitation of trust
Of the meaning of trust
Either I enact change, my visitors do or internally there are mechanisms in place to evolve
Whatever my participation
For so long as I still have it
For so long as I still have it
For so long as I still have it
