I wish I had a fear of no tomorrow
it would make today more precious
ever-wandering me could stop and think
no further than the next meal
next sex
next paycheck from some authority
some social disease like the government
fear of no tomorrow
doesn’t bring peace
but it gives you a chance to live now
whatever now you can hunt down for yourself
or
whatever now follows you behind as yesterday
but it doesn’t really exist
the only thing you need to remember is to stop now
in the middle of the street
and talk to it
like it mattered to you
imagine now is your mother
never far
never a stranger
otherwise now
will be deeply disappointed
it will scream inside like a madman you are
and guess what
you need those lungs for breathing now
not tomorrow
today
try deep
