Inopportune

Whoever doesn't know it already
will learn it fast:
life doesn't stop,
it doesn't wait nor warn.
So many plans, so many plans
dissolve to foam
you, for example,
so on time
and so
inopportune.

Those were the days
of lowering the sails.
All the signs around me
said: caution.
How many strategies went unfulfilled
that night without moonlight
you, for example,
so welcome
and so
inopportune.

Who knows when,
when is the moment to say: now?
If everything around you is shouting:
Don't wait! Don't wait!
