I decided not to go with today's prompt. Recently, I've been going on
some dates, so I decided to write about the experience.

There is the time of the date 
and the time after the date 

When I am with you
You who are a series of different people
I feel it could last forever

When I return home
I am already acutely aware
of all the reasons
To contiue dating

The date, the moment adds up to eternity
after the date, all the moments feel like
they are going nowhere

Dating leads to an understanding
of eternity as nowhere
With infinte paths leading
Just pick one.

Or hold out,
For the one path,
Which does not lead out to
the eternity that is nowhere
but back upon iself
To the eternity of the moment.
