I’m about to arriveI’m about to arrive. The future is so closethat it’s the next moment,the present so pastthat it’s exactly now. Keeping the futurethat’s so close and the pastthat’s so near,I’m present in the night. In my old trunkthat borers have tunneled into,is the junk of the past. Recollected, it’s dazzlingly new. I’ve almost arrived. The time should be around eight.
