tomorrow
what is the point of
tomorrow
it separates me and
us from all other
creatures
and when it comes
it has gone and
is replaced by
another
so we assume it
will always come
and be ours
what folly
and blindness
if all our planning
and dreaming
ignores the
truth
and its reality
that nothing is
mine or
ours
even the present
moment
we can only be
found and
possessed
it will make us
humble and
utterly different
in a now
whose tomorrow
is now
but never
mine
