Here in the Little Now

We under-estimate it somehow

For it seems nondescript; alone

But all we have is 'the little now'

In which to get anything done

The filament of centuries

Is not woven by the flow

Of quantum leaps; but history

Is the abyss of ‘little nows’

Here in 'the little now' we shape

A monumental cast

An unalterable landscape

We simply call the past

 With the past, I have nothing to do; nor with the future.  I live now.
