Now you want me to use the word
That I’ve worked hard to expel
Slightly this or that
A miss is as good as a mile they say
Otherwise I’m limiting it to only one
Though I couldn’t tell you
The dictionary definition of
Just now
Other than to say it might be colloquial
But if you tell me this I’ll expect
Whatever it is to be soon,
But not too soon
Beautiful in its ambiguity
Let me dispel any notion of a finite meaning
I’ll just wait over here while you ponder that
And just in case there is a problem
I’ll just stand back and allow you to edit
The only thing I’m doing right now
To expel this word once again
And a few others with it
To improve my writing and let it just flow
And then I’ll decide if it’s fair or not
