Dating

There is the time of the date

and the time after the date

When I am with you

You who are a series of different people

I feel it could last forever

When I return home

I am already acutely aware

of all the reasons

To contiue dating

The date, the moment adds up to eternity

after the date, all the moments feel like

they are going nowhere

Dating leads to an understanding

of eternity as nowhere

With infinte paths leading

Just pick one.

Or hold out,

For the one path,

Which does not lead out to

the eternity that is nowhere

but back upon iself

To the eternity of the moment.
