the past is present

 

Revived bitterness

is unnecessary unless
    One is ignorant.

 

To-morrow will be
Yesterday unless you say the
    Days of the week back-

 

Ward. Last weeks’ circus
Overflow frames an old grudge. Thus:
    When you attempt to

 

Force the doors and come
At the cause of the shouts, you thumb
    A brass nailed echo.

  

Marianne Moore
