because He says

I. a
what was was because
He says, �I am yesterday.�
keep looking forward.

II. i
what is is because
He says, �I am what I am.�
keep on listening.

III. �
what will be, will be.
He says, �I am coming soon.�
keep on expecting.

-------------------------------

a-i-� is my own creation, so for the purpose of edification and keeping those tinkling cymbals quiet, let me explain.

I am really into constructed languages. The three letters I used as titles for this poem represent past, present, and future. I think you might have guessed from the context, but there's no harm in being clear.
