The Whiskey Taster’s Flavor Guide

Back In the Coffee House

As I sit here, sipping my over-priced latte', I wonder
  I wonder about next year
    about next month
      about tomorrow,
and I realize:
  I realize soon
    it will be next year
      and even sooner, next month
        let alone tomorrow,
So why is it I'm so infatuated with such a sudden future?
 Maybe it's because
  Tomorrow has the ability to make dreams come true
    It bares a place to reside in,
    when there is no longer enough time in today,
       It has a  way of making promises
       that you don't even care whether or not they come true,
         as long as they feel good to hold, for tonight:
Tomorrow can also pass you by,
  but it seems never to fail
   to come right back, for today.
I guess the only reason 
 I spend so much energy imagining
 the possibilities that tomorrow holds
  Is because, I can't help but wonder
what if maybe they'll be a day,
 A today, tomorrow, just once, forgets to come.
