priorities

you force time
to stop
or at least
our time
to stop

you first
here
now
in your eternity

I am tempted
like all parents
before me
like all parents
after

to imagine
the deeds you will do
to dream dreams
for you

but
here
now
in your eternity

I am sober
and I know
all I really want
is to be

here
now.
