now pants

that's a future thing though
this right now thing is just this right now thing
the pants you're wearing are the only pants
borne the brush of a boggy creek
threadworn right pocket from three phones
in three times as many years
guarding the spider veins of year 33
as they always have
lifting legs into the final two thirds 
heavy enough with the dirt of youth
to keep you from floating away
they're your now pants
don't spill your drink on em
