Listen to poem:

Today Today Tomorrow

Today Today Tomorrow
David J Walker

She said she would choke 
Every yesterday 
                     that came to mind

Smother them in condiments 
Spewing out false memories 
Of an alternate life 
		          lost

The day to day 
	           Changes 
With every tomorrow realized

The reality of today
		          Weaponized 

You can’t know what today 
Was like

	She said

Until you hate it tomorrow
