That which is before me
the moment
the one-to-one encounter
what would the engagement be?

  I am cast
  into the unknown
  of time
  and circumstance

  I think
  I weigh
  I have to decide
  to act or delay
  in a blinker

  it all seems to me
  life is but an endless succession
  of moments scattered over
   the continuum of time

    I am the counterpart
    of the moment
    in that interface
    I discover
     what I am.
