B here and now--
Today is the first day of the rest of your life
overused words for people seeking a reason and
the strength to break the pattern of a rut
dug by all the tired yesterdays
jammed into your messy junk drawer and expanding
to make an even bigger mess on the floor
so you kick it out of your way and through the closet door
forcing it shut tight with the might of soft shoulders
managing to get it solidly shut in but then
bits of paper junk peek through the crevices and cracks
and you resign and deeply sigh
bone-weary from the effort as the sun
sinks low expiring another chance to shine and
“Afterall," it has been said, "tomorrow is another day.”
and that tomorrow will be the first day of the rest of your life
you’ve said it before but never really meant it before
so the junk collecting in the drawer
“Afterall," it has been said, "tomorrow is another day.”
and that tomorrow will be the first day of the rest of your life
you’ve said it before but never really meant it before
so the junk collecting in the drawer
from all those yesterdays will have to keep
its secrets smoldering for another day because
Tomorrow is gonna be a big, BIG day!
filled with things to add to the pyre.
Pyre. Genius!
