epilogue

By Tony Brown

you’ll find
that it does not matter

that you are brilliant
and talented with your tongue

what will matter
in that last moment

is how well you put all that aside
to be present with this person before you

chances are you’ll be found wanting
and you’ll be left that way too

  Good call. Better?

  By the way … hello. Nice to meet you if I haven’t met you. 🙂

  This is great. Though for some reason I can’t quite articulate, the second line doesn’t sit well with me.
