Clock out. Eat.
Sleep.
This is not what I imagined.
Not what I wanted.
Not that I imagined anything.
Never made plans.
Never thought I had to.
Always thought I had
Tomorrow.
I know now that a building
Takes plans.
So too does a life.
Rome wasn’t built in a day.
Why did I think my
Future
Could be?
Living for today means that
Tomorrow is already gone.
I waited.
I waited.
I waited.
Too long.
Now all I have is today.
Again.
Again.
Again.
And again.
Now all I can do is
Wake.
Shower. Dress.
Eat. Drive. Clock In.
