this is me
thinking about tomorrow
which is kinda lack of mind
that degree of imagining
that won’t happen anyway

thinking about
tomorrow

                                or was it yesterday
                                that i burnt my mind in sorrow?

what difference one day makes
always making plans
but with the first decision
it’s gone
and i won’t be able
to equal plan with reality

thinking about
today

nothing of importance happened
accept for
not writing anything at all
is that something that happened
or didn’t happen
did i make the decision
not to write
or did it just happen
that i’ve lost interest in a subject
or a project

thinking about
lame excuses

                                starting every new day
                                as if it was the first day ever

making lists of what to do
can make your life easier
can make your life harder
it always depends
on the weather
whether it is your mood
whether it is the mood of a friend
a colleague
or a stranger

                                thinking about tomorrow
                                i feel increasingly indifferent
the more i think of it.
