I inhabit today. It's a plastic bag and I'm inside of it Yesterday is totally abandoned. it's hypnotizing to watch the days go by. day after day after day go bye soon I'll say, "good bye March 3rd," Like carrying a bag with a bunch of assorted things inside. Today is a bag. Yesterday was A bag. It makes me so tired to think, "Yesterday is useless, I used it up" Tired from a ceaseless journey Inside of whatever bag to Wherever At the bottom of some arm Day after day after day.
