News of winning the grand prize for writing at Prom
Visited early, people congratulating, conversations.
Asked about the secret; the method is, every moment, to write down this very moment as it is.
Changing clothes, didn't like them, kept changing, even getting help from people around me.
While agonizing over it, was late to the awards ceremony; someone said why are you so late. It was already mid-way; the seminar seemed to have ended, but I didn't know what was happening with the awards. Asked if it had ended. Couldn't see the host of Prom.
Later, the award announcement was made. But I couldn't go up on stage. No one acknowledged me.
I worry about days gone by, missing both the future and now,
and frets about how I look and the eyes of strangers - which no one even cares about - and so wonder whether I missed the most important awards ceremony.
Just, simply,
I came to think that what mattered was continuing to spend time with them.
