Like everybody else, I exist 
in the now. Where I have been 
does not indicate where I will go, 
and all I have known will be 
a portion of all that I know. 
Yet, all that is there is subject to 
change. My terms and conditions 
will, no doubt, be rearranged 
to accommodate fears, and folly, 
and facts still uncertain, as I 
realize or discover my potential 
inertia. Matter it is, matter 
it does. I am not yesterday, nor 
am I today. Tomorrow is
simply another way. Time will 
not determine where I will go, or 
whether I stay. Who I am now 
is not all you need know, anyway. 
I am more than I thought;
I am all I am not.
