More likely than not

today will be just another day

when we wake at different hours

and our redundant routines will

interact creating each other’s daily fate.

 

More likely than not,

today will be just another day

handing us much of what we want

and some of what we don’t

according to our emerging random mood.

 

More likely than not

today will be just another day.

through which time slowly passes

a gradual assessment and assigns a label

of good, bad or something equally myopic.

 

More likely than not

today will be just another day.

which retires our minds, bodies and souls

to tomorrow’s worries

which are, more likely than not,

going to be the same as yesterday’s.

 

And more likely than not

the day will arrive when we wager the next

on a random hope

that tomorrow is more likely than not.

And we will lose.

 

And more likely than not,

we will have expired the lesson

that each day is just another

and another, and another

for those with empty dreams and purposes

which inspire them to live like

today is just another day.

LMSM,

Don
