Living in the moment

It would be absolute torture
to actually feel the passing
of every second.
It is a saving grace
that we can zone out
for minutes at a time.
Expectation makes it all
Worse.
Here you are feeling
every second go by
and knowing you have to be
somewhere sometime.
It’s not just 15 minutes.
It’s 900 seconds.
And you feel each one.
I don’t think that’s what
living in the moment means.
Otherwise, no one would.
