Be Gentle With the Moment



Be gentle with it (the moment)
Always watch it, like some invisible child you've been charged with
Give it freedom and instruction
Tell it this, as you fall to sleep:
"The moment comes, the moment's coming and the moment came"
Consider as you sleep - how you were awake through it
Consider as you're awake how you slept through it
Ask the moment if there was something you missed
Ask the moment, like, a hundred times
If there is anything you can get
