Time travelling. Will be around sporadically.
today is not a day
for the dumps, for depression, or
for being an eccentric, excited fool.
today I feel calmly optimistic.
today I work from the book
of yesterday's dreams
and thoughts
I’ve carried quietly in my head.
today I will write a humorous sci-fi novel.
tomorrow, I shall see it published.
today I will apply to my dream university.
tomorrow, I shall walk there
with my mother’s blessing.
today I will carefully approach the gym.
tomorrow, I shall climb walls
and hang from possibility.
today I will submit a poem to be judged.
tomorrow, it becomes
a national phenomenon.
today I will ask a question.
tomorrow,
I shall be the woman answering it.
I’ll never know
unless I decide to try.
why leap toward death
when I can leap
toward possibility?
tomorrow I shall.
