This is really good and aligns with Gilles Deleuze's concept of vertical time as opposed to horizontal time. It emphasizes the interdependence of past, present, and future, much like Deleuze's idea of time as a complex layering rather than a linear progression. The poem's portrayal of the present as a culmination of the past and a foundation for the future echoes Deleuze's notion of time's multiplicity and interconnectedness.
