I don't Do These Things

Once

i don’t do these things
once
as if to hold 
or preserve a moment forever
i do them
i forget
and then live again 
to remember
until there’s nothing left
that’s fleeting
except the rush of repeating 
again and again

---

I don’t carry space for nostalgia, because life now is what it’s always been, and even greater than.
