By the time you come to be

To the Present Tense

 

By the time you are

by the time you come to be

by the time you read this

by the time you are written

by the time you forget

by the time you are  water through fingers

by the time you are taken  for granted

by the time it hurts

by the time it goes on hurting

by the time there are no words for you

by the time you remember

but without the names

by the time you are in the papers

and on the telephone

passing unnoticed there too

 

who is it

to whom you come

before whose very eyes

you are disappearing

without making yourself known
