A Poem about Now

I think now is too far in the past
for some
Just like it might have been too far in the
future for other poets in the past
when it was first printed
So that we all can know that those poems
do exist.

The stuff you read that was written long ago and still has
context in what you experience now
somehow,
Should make you wonder about a lot -
which is the object,
of Now, or is it the verb
