Tense in Time

Play.

       Life.

             Fast forward.

                              Future.

                                       Pause.

                                                 Present.

                                                             Rewind.

                                                                           Past.

                                                                                   Stop.

                                                                                            Death.

Aint it funny...

Nature’s irony

How Future becomes Past

As Past struggles to be recognised Present 

 

Present now anxious for continuity― Present-continuous!

But upon reaching there its sights are back (to the) Future

…which is already (now) Past?!!?

Is it funny that Past is Future?

(*long silence*)

The future ‘present-ing’ the past

The past ‘present-ing’ the future

The perpetual loop. Nature’s irony.
