Yesterday

Yesterday is just a blur 
But in a moment of reverie 
There are bits I can recall 
Floating round my memory 

Modern life is overwhelming 
Everything is moving fast 
Rushing at such rapid pace 
That my brain is left aghast 

Past and present mix together 
Time is all askew 
With so much information 
What is one supposed to do? 

I've given up on keeping up 
I've well and truly hit the wall 
To preserve what sanity I've left 
I've decided to ignore it all 

You say that I am being fey 
Disconnected from reality 
But I'm far happier in my fog 
Than trying to keep up currently
