It's Just Not Now

I have these moments 
Where I forget  
What I'm feeling  
On the bus or in the park 

Just for a moment 
Before my life resumes 
I could be 
Anything at all 

Carbon-based  
Outer space dust 
Mixed with water  
The mind wanders far 

Returning to this life 
With a cue
From my memories 
Igniting my brow 

Muscles contract 
Nerves react  
To some indignity  
Pressing on me now 

What was that? 
How should I react? 
Yes, I remember 
This particular “now"
