yesterday
yesterday exists
mccartney
sang about it
once upon a time
do you remember
how it used
to be—how
it’s not anything like
that anymore
instead it’s today
something new
something to embrace
or something to fear
depending
on the mood that
strikes you
when you awaken
attempting to remember
what it was
you did yesterday
such as giving witness
to the moonrise
how she spoke to you
saying look at me
can you detect the
difference—how I am
almost exactly the same
as yesterday
october two thousand twenty-four
