POEM: Hellos and Goodbyes

What if life is not about the pain and the pleasure and
simply an experience..
whose past moment was the second that winked at you
like the minute before that winked at you
at the blink of an hour

What if life is not about the pain and the pleasure and
simply is an experience
where every pressing moment was like a box of confections
and your nows are indulgent sweet afflictions
waving hellos and saying goodbyes

To possible futures and decontructed tomorrows
whose past moment was the second that winked at you
presenting a box of bittersweet hellos and goodbyes

To smile or frown is
to entertain with your thoughts
a past moment winking at you

and you say your hellos and goodbyes
