the present tense

Present Tense - Pearl Jam

"do you see the way that trees bend?
does it inspire?
leaning out to catch the sun's rays,
a lesson to be applied

are you getting something out of this all-encompassing trip?
you can spend your time alone, redigesting past regrets,
or you can come to terms and realize
you're the only one who can't forgive yourself,
makes much more sense to live in the present tense.

have you ideas on how this life ends?
checked your hands and studied the lines?
have you the belief that the road ahead ascends off into the light?
seems that needlessly it's getting harder
to find an approach and a way to live.

are we getting something out of this all-encompassing trip?
you can spend your time alone redigesting past regrets,
or you can come to terms and realize
you're the only one who cannot forgive yourself,
makes much more sense to live in the present tense."

Será o presente um tempo verbal? Um estado de espírito - tenso e permanente? Um escrito em constante progressão?
A indefinição do poema mais belo e claro é como a espuma das ondas.
Não é o mar mas cheira a mar.
A poesia não é a vida. Mas cheira a vida. Com ou sem acento no 'a'?
