Something in the Past

Something in the Past and done
is Perfect: Complete even when
not a thing went beyond ideals
or went past practical limitations.

Something that was happening
is Imperfect: But you never feel
that way when you are Present
and you are alive and living but
still everything is in the Past
and nothing's there, you passively
Remember all the things done to you
but nothing that you've done.
