Conjecture: Torrential Musings

It would seem to be
My mission for today,
To plumb the depths
Of unpleasantness;

The renovation saga continues,
As the overhaul of 1208
Enters its second noisy week,
But wait! Something else is here:

Putting a new spin
On beginners’ mind,
I think, ‘There is only
This moment, right?’

Thus, there is no continuation,
But only what’s happening now; so,
Can I let go the weight of yesterday,
And break this rumpus up into discrete bits?

What if I see each instance as,
Never before, never again?
What will that do?
Will this strategy make it easier or harder?

As I listen,
The only disruption
Is my growing irritation;
No harm done to my hearing;

So, what am I fearing?
What is making me jump,
And whinge and fret?
Could it be mind only?

And if so,
Can I stop that?
Can I merely notice and forget
Each instance as,
Never before, never again?
