So there you are
walking down the road
waiting to ask
and again waiting to ask
and at the end of the night
you didn't ask
and you feel like a total dork
and you come home and listen to Lipa
and you feel less dumb
and then you feel even worse
because you know you're an idiot
but what can you do about it
and what's with the narcissism?
tomorrow is a brand new day
sure, that's what they say
but is it really true?
the experiences of yesterday
the choices we made
the paths we traveled
those are what guide us tomorrow
nay, they force us
but
whether you give in or fight back
there's no real point in arguing the matter
because at the end of the day
that has passed
or still is to pass
you know
things are good
because we've got a big G-d up there
even if you don't like him
which is neither here
nor there
because right now
tomorrow still hasn't arrived
and you know
it better work tomorrow
on a knee
sunflowers
or a bowl of tuna and noodles
whatever it is
that's what it will be
or what it was
complicated
but then again
tomorrow is a brand new day

Well don't screw up. Enjoy the tuna, it's delicious and nutritious.
Especially in a casserole. Yum!
nice poem
why do we all do this genre
existential
poems that dont rhyme?
i like it. says a lot about you. choices. decisions. mistakes. chances. thats what life is made up of. but yes, at the end of the day- there is a new day tomorrow. dont make the same mistake again.
Dear Mr. R.S.
If you didn't ask its because you're not ready - don't see it as a failure but rather giving expression to a deeper voice ...
Trying, as always, to listen intently, L de Toot.
hmmm... curious.
By "you" did you mean "me"?
What didn't you ask?
Who'd ever think that TRS had a poetic side? Nice work. Chin up!
Tuna is gross though, unless it's Ahi or in Sushi, then it's yum!
this was GOOD.
good luck with today!
also, why is everyone fixated on the tuna? i'm going to think about the sunflowers...
also getting down on one knee. i like that part.
Hmm. Existential poetry with a deep meaning I can't begin to fathom.
Anon: Because that way, they make sense.
Altie: Glad to hear.
LdT: What does Freud have to do with it?
C: Astute observation.
One day me may know.
Mottel: It's right next to the esophagus.
Cheerio: Yes, this sort of thing is right up your alley, ain't it?
Because you can eat tuna (unless you're pregnant). You can't eat sunflowers (unless you're pregnant).
Altie: We aim to please.
le7: As Sara would have it, SOL (snort out loud).
TRS, i'll join the chorus of well wishers and hope for better success tonight. we're rooting for you!! #ldt shtech!! but that's beating a dead horse. so forget about it.
