Call me Tomorrow.
I bear the consequences of your actions today
Your fantasies are embedded in me
It is only I who knows whether they will become your reality.
*****
Call me Tomorrow
Nothing catches me by surprise
For I am closer to your death than to your birth
And the sun, to you, is moon to me.
*****
Call me Tomorrow.
I am swollen with all the responsibilities that you stuff into me
Because you believe that I am freer, longer and more accommodating than today.
But alas, I am not.
For I carry within myself, my own troubles.
*****
Call me Tomorrow.
And not ‘the Future’
For though you mean the same thing, the latter makes you lazy about preparing for me.
Never understanding that you are always a second closer to me.
*****
Call me Tomorrow.
No, I don’t mean just the one in which the alarm wakes you.
I do not begin then.
I begin where you are now.
Look down at your feet, look around you and smell the roses, I am there with you although I am incapacitated.
This is the only time when you have absolute control over me. Today.
For when I arrive, I come with my own demands.
Worse still, when I become Yesterday. Then, you can only make changes in your retrospections.
*****
Call me Tomorrow.
For me, you must follow your heart using your head.
For I am greatly affected when you let that precious lady out of your grasp
Simply because she batted her eyelashes, curved her lips, rolled and eyes and said to you; ‘Well. I’m not free today. Call me tomorrow’
