Analysis of Now in Motion



By Chris Commodore©2023

Inside and outside,
Downside and up;
Glide like a landslide,
Slow down, don’t stop.

Right turn not left turn;
Forward not back.
Fly like the black turn,
Leading the pack.

Whirring and spinning,
Frugal with time;
Forever counting,
All steps in mime.

Slowly but surely,
Stop and then go;
Deeply not lightly,
High up not low.

NOW! not tomorrow,
Cheer for today.
No time for sorrow,
Woo every day.
