3 Years Later...Dilated.

To abbreviate an otherwise lengthy tale,

I summarize the greatest story yet to be told

under the shadowcast of one...two...three...years.



The "new-car-smell" of that 1st freshmen semester lingers

from those one...two...years & 10 months ago of

a squeaky clean August ready to be lived.



How fast time flies is mere chicken shit

when I think of the true dilation of

time, space, life & the chain reaction of events

racing towards that great cataclysm of the universe

where the time, space, & life we all know & trust

cease to exist

cease to matter

cease to be whatever was

the whatever is of the true dilation of time,

space, & life as we all know & trust.



But for now,

I'm taking a settled gasp...

& leaning against my own understanding

of the true dilation of one...two...three...

years time past today.



Inspired by the infinite generations of man, woman, & child

I urge to push time back enough to push me forward enough

to a "today" where "the new-car-smell" of an

August I began living

one...two...years & 10 months ago doesn't linger...

but rather...

stays to fill "life-as-I-wish-to-know-it"

with that 1st freshmen semester aroma to end all days.



But I cain't do shit about yesterday or even tomorrow...



...or so I've learned within the scope of these one...

two...

three...

years.



For the present day is that cliche' gift

to us all before life presents us all with that

touche' paragraph start of "But" to our

many mistakes.



In the good-spirit of the 161st day of 2007,

this year feels like a funny,

but eerie,

yet ultra familiar,

repeat of 2006...

as if to say

last year reneged on New Year's by putting itself on

continuous play.



Whatever the case maybe,

all things of the last

one...two...three...years

have become realized today -

this 10th day of June, two-thousand & seven...



...or have they really?



To abbreviate an otherwise lengthy tale...

I HATE Young Jeezy,

but I'm letting the production quality of

his hood-anthem instrumentals

bring me back

one...two...three...years ago

to that day

when I stared into the future's black unknown anew...

not knowing of this man staring back at me

to be a me I didn't intend for me to be

that 10th day of June, two-thousand & four.



So if all things of the last

one...two...three...years

have been truly realized today,

then the me I intended for me to be

& "life-as-I-wish-to-know-it"

have cancelled out

while the me that I am today...

3 Years Later...dilated...

is the me I was always supposed to be

& the me I intended myself to be

in the true dilation of

time, space, & life as we all know & trust.

Author's Notes/Comments: 

June 10, 2007 marks three since I graduated from high school. This piece helps me understand that in life, there are no mistakes & that everything happens within its own time.
