Tomorrow's Neither Lent nor Borrowed

     Close the door on yesterday
       Make a new start today  

     Don’t fret about tomorrow
        It's neither lent nor borrowed

     A return to yesterday, painstakingly,
        empties creativity

     Anticipating tomorrow’s result
        Today does insult
