Days

Where do they come from, where do they go?

Tomorrow is the day people one hundred years ago pondered as the Titanic was just beginning to rust.  Forever there has been an April 26, 2016 in the future. In 3 hours and 20 minutes the day that never was, will be. Today, and all it promised will be a has been. Where will today go when it makes way for progress?  Do the days go by? I saw a calendar from 1964. Future events were pencilled in. Important commitments were written in ink. Some of those past future days held more necessary expectations of those people. Eventually necessity ended.

Did today live up to expectations? Will this day be remembered? Should it be forgot?

Tomorrow always looks better. We look forward to the new day. And then we sleep through the first six hours and the last two or three.  The day we looked to with such hope is a quarter past before we even know it's arrived. Did I use all that she gave? I gave her again, not more than twelve hours before I  called her a day. What i didn't get today, I'll get tomorrow. I had more and less at the start of today.  At the end of tomorrow I'll have more and less of the same.

Considering the alternative, this was a very good day. I'll let her go into the night, three hours early.
