Jack Scott writes

Now is a Thousand Times Then

Those things I did not do for you 
that you asked me to 
so many times, 
until you soured of asking -
I do them now 
nightly in my dreams, 
but you refuse to come 
to see what I have done for you: 
now: a thousand times done, 
a thousand times undone, 
then again. 
In that cycle 
now is a thousand times then.
