After all, tomorrow is a big day...

 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
        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.
