Has anything ever
Happened —
A second too soon
Or an instant too late

There can only be
Three possibilities

One — things happen
Too soon, or too late
The timing got messed up
Somewhere upstream — and now
It is off, forever —
In all directions

Two — things happen
Neither early nor late
But precisely on time

But how could that be —
Unless someone, somewhere
Is holding time still —
Frozen in place

For that delay on the road
That traffic jam —
How could it not
Make thousands of things
Late

Three —
Things aren’t happening
At all

Does living — in accord
With the logical conclusion
That time is impossible
That nothing ever happens
Before or after its time —
Mean surrendering
Allowing

But do these
Not assume
Things happening
Presume the existence
Of time itself

Is surrendering, allowing
Letting things be —

Not absurdity
Resting on time

But of course —
Living, in accord
Or otherwise
Cannot happen —
For there is no time
On which
Anything
Could happen

Must not this lead
To the final conclusion —
That
Nothing has ever happened
That
Nothing
Ever
Is

And yet

Reality cares not
For conclusion

And ensures
That only it —
And not what is
Could ever

Ever
