Yesterday does exist
In the calluses on my fingers
The complexes in my mind
The fidgets and the twitches
The love left behind
Yesterday does exist
Because now is complicated
The broken jaw still pops
My face has deep set lines
Over indulgent chops
Also exists tomorrow
These bills won’t pay themselves
My time will surely come
Or my time eventually comes
That feeling in my gut
Also exists tomorrow
Putting garbage on the curb
Running lifting fighting age
Nervous looking for a clue
Never knowing what to do
So here then is a fluke
Never felt the real now
Only worries and rebuke
Losing sight not knowing how
The longest day of the year
Is also the shortest night
Less time to move and cheer
Less hours to get it right
The sun stays up too long
Confused by all the beaming
Just need the moon to make a song
Leave entranced and gleaming
