The First Day of the Rest of Your Life
If you don’t like the weather
wait five minutes and it will change.
A pitcher has pitched a shutout—
he is a hero.
You can bet
he’s talked about everywhere.
Somewhere something is on sale—
it was marked up the first day.
A song in the background rocks
but it is lost in haste.
A stitch in time saves nine
but old blue jeans are thrown away.
People say take care
and disappear.
A man in a bar nurses his drink
half-empty or half-full.
