Description
The whim of the moment
Today I have decided
to handle tomorrow yesterday
I’ll walk about in flared legged pants
my vermillion scalp no longer grey.
Yesterday I have decided
today’s for tomorrow to think about
I’ll put the now behind the blinds
and turn the seasons all around.
Yesterday! Ah! Then I was young
a rising star, now I’m old, run down
I wish I’d saved, I, the cricket
so he could lay down. I’d buy
him a walker, think of the past
rethink the future, when he still sang
the cricket that started an ant.
