Tomorrow is a Yesterday

What fun to find 
that without my fear
or the lies that resistance insures survival,
tomorrow becomes a yesterday  in waiting.

Where time resembles 
 a canine expectation
on windowsill watch - 
a perfect strategy
to stay in puerile fascination.
To know the whole of everything 
with that childlike speculation
of what makes sense in this world.

A world that’s still, when my heart is full. 
A world not needing much in certainty.
Just being quiet enough to hear 
creation in conversation.

And in this world of mine
today is the only thing of value,
not needing trust or hope
but imaginations 
that have just enough wisdom 
to be confidants of the absurd,
to ask to place a window next to everything
as perhaps I'll need to go out and play.
