Is time like ripe fruit

just right now.

lived,eaten,enjoyed

if taken

straight from the tree,

juice dribbling down

your chin,

experienced there and then

No planning, watching contemplating

missing the opportunity

as it turns sour,

bad to the bite.

Guilt, regret, loss.

The Fruit only stays

ripe in the moment

and for that

Knowledge

paradise was lost,

not temptation

or sin

that was

just reason

for an old

parsons

guilt
