Past present future

"Past" is what once was -
A remnant that's called memory ...
In it lie the "causes" -
Of what now is.

"Future" is what will be -
Envisioned, seldom seen...
In it lie "results" -
Of what now is.

"Present" is that narrowness -
Passing, always flickering....
Proof of the "joke" -
Of "what now is."

From Startide Rising by David Brin - a sci fi book involving dolphins that speak in Haikus all the time.

Was that inspirational or what?
