No future in the present 9/25/15

There is no future in the present. 
There is no past in the present either. 
However quaint the apparent dance, 
however wide-ranging the cheek to cheek, 
however crowded the present may seem, 
with futures calling us forward 
and past yelling from the back, 
the present is still everywhere in stillness 
and yet possibly unseen. 
This now is non-referential, non-cognitive, and non-competing. 
And it is not of anything new. 
It’s not controversial, non-phenomenal, non-comparative, 
and simply all of it, as complete. 
Can’t quantify, can’t dignify, can’t obsolete. 
It’s unapproachable without leaving all baggage left behind. 
It’s unattainable with memory as a video record saved. 
Can’t buy it, save it, store it or get back to it at a later time. 
Actually, it has no it. 
It’s a one of a kind but it also has no kind. 
All of language is the action of an exit process. 
Language has no heart or soul in the now. 
Senses seem to flail a sea filled with redundancy. 
Our reality is a profession of denial 
and yet the present passes through the all of us with constancy. 
We are a slippery oneness, forever in denial. 
We conger, we rectify, we propose, 
all within the dignity of this oneness, mostly undisclosed. 
For it seems dumbfoundedly difficult to go forward not remembering, 
there is no future anywhere, 
especially in the present.
