Tomorrow


The day is today,
Yet everything is always tomorrow.
"Mañana," they say, "sutra."

Then they say, "more, it'll happen āpōpō."
Why doesn't anything ever happen today?
Somehow it's always завтpа.

    and be ourselves.
    We rencounter
    the day,
    and the day before,
    going over it a hundred times
