Straddled

I am reaching forward,
feeling for a certain future
that might be as elusive
as the ever changing wird.

And I am reaching back
to times, places, and people
that have constructed who I
have become at this life’s point.

Now, here is me, a being
supposedly wise, straddled
across the past, present, and
future, looking for who I am.
