Then and Now
 
Then it was always
for now, later
for later.
And then years of now
passed, and it grew later
and later. Trapped
in the shrinking
chocolate box
the confused sardine
was unhappy. It
leapt, and banged its head
again. And afterward
they said shall we
repeat the experiment.
And it said
later for that.

Student groups perform during National Day celebrations in front of the Presidential Palace in Taipei on October 10, 2016.   Taiwanese President Tsai Ing-wen on October 10 called for a resumption of talks with China and pledged that "anything" can be on the table for discussion. Relations with Beijing have deteriorated under Taiwan's first female president, whose China-sceptic Democratic Progressive Party (DPP) took office in May after a landslide victory over the Kuomintang party (KMT).   / AFP PHOTO / SAM YEHSAM YEH/AFP/Getty Images

A young man takes a shower in a shower from a water fountain in Houk, in a rural zone of Les Cayes, an area damaged by Hurricane Matthew, in the Southwest of Haiti, on October 9, 2016.  Haiti began three days of mourning Sunday for hundreds killed in Hurricane Matthew as relief officials grappled with the unfolding devastation in the Caribbean country's hard-hit south. Matthew crashed ashore on Haiti's southern coast on October 4 as a monster Category 4 storm, packing 145 mile (230 kilometer) winds. Civil defense officials have put the death toll at 336, although some officials said it topped 400.   / AFP PHOTO / HECTOR RETAMALHECTOR RETAMAL/AFP/Getty Images
