Yesterday is lost
On a gravel road I’m all alone, walking along and kicking a stone. Today is a new, virtual zoo. Tomorrow is never, just another today. I could learn from the past, hardly ever do. Whatever happens today, tomorrow it’s the past. Today is yesterday, I remember now. On a gravel road I’m all alone, walking along and kicking a stone. Off to school to learn history. People, places, names, and dates of times I cannot see. It’s got to be alive for my mind to thrive. Get a license to drive. Start a family. Children all grown, having children of their own. On a gravel road I’m all alone, Walking along and kicking a stone. Yesterday is lost. Today is yesterday. © David Girard 12/08/17
