Poem, 8/15/18 Today
Yesterday is
Today
We carry yesterdays today
Everywhere we go
Baggage, dead weight, always the problems
"The<b> chains </font></b>we forged in life"
As Jacob Marley said
to Alistair Sim in the 1951 classic
A Christmas Carol
I never slept with
or dated a Carol
But I wanted to
I wanted a lot
and got what I deserved
or so " they" say
What do you say about your day?
Merry or gay?
Cold or a mouse colored gray?
Melancholy is no way
to spend the day.
Lift your eyes from the ground
Listen to the sound
of your heartbeat
breath deep
feel alive
eat a pizza and
desert on some pistachio
ice cream
with a dollop of coffee extract
make that perfect cup of coffee
prop those tired achy feet up
rub those sore arms and feel life
think of those all but forgotten childhood memories
Our clans, our people all had something beneficial to offer
somewhere
even in anger,
loss
dispassion
alcoholism
not being there for you
nagging
ordering you around life's potholes
and pitfalls
but there were bologna sandwiches
with catsup and mustard
and cherry Kool-Aid
and sickness and servility
laughter and love
and old hounds
and sleeping purring cats
smile for you must slog through
you're as stuck in life
as those at the trenches of
Somme in 1916
Cowboy up
dust off and seize the hourglass of pain
by it's buxom sexy curves and hurl it through the mirror
shatter your delusions of today
throw the ignorant grains of sand
spilling from their glass confinement
into the face and jaws
of The Lions of Deceit .
Do it today.
