yesterday

left behind

an answer to codes that deliver us blind

to life’s changing dimensions

forgotten connections

nothing to remember

only today

tomorrow seems so far away, Paul

Dear John, yesterday is gone

so is the beginning of your song

finally ending, turntable spinning to dizzy miss lizzy

the face you just saw

in the moments we were busy wondering how it once felt

yesterday

ensnared by the trap pollyanna set to snap in place your present mind

so she doesn’t have to exist

she, and lizzy, becomes us

changing their name

to today

tomorrow is just another song
