James Edward Lee Sr. Poet Dramatic Monologue

Today's Tomorrow Again

Today is tomorrow again
Again tomorrow is today
Make it go away,
Lord please comes here, today
Have your way

Sunday, morning
And I still need someone to show me the way;
Because the girl I loved has gone away;
She’s gone
I’m alone
She’s gone
Help me God
Today is tomorrow again;

And I really loved her;
And I really love, love, loved her;
But when I needed her she packed her clothes and gone, gone away

Today is tomorrow again
Again tomorrow is today
Make it go away,
Lord please comes here, today
Have your way

Monday evening
IT’s a new week and, I haven’t found her yet;
And I believe that she has gone out and met;
Another love
Someone else to love
Some other black brother
Done went out and copped herself another boy friend
OH, I sit down and cry;
Yes, asking myself why oh why;
I’m wondering
Why she went, why she’d go
I go outside in the rain
Running up and down the street feeling so ashamed
That every new girl I meet is wearing the same;
Perfume that I gave the one that ran away, singing in the rain;
I fancy this little children playing in the streets;
While in the trees robins and sparrows sing tweet-tweet;
I’m just playing in the rain;
Engaged in some sort of wonderful silly game
I keep saying to myself when I needed a love , a friend oh, when I really needed a friend—

Today tomorrow again;
