What Today is Worth

What, tell me what on Earth is today worth?

Depends upon who you are and where you’re

Going. As for me and for everyone standing

Feet planted on terra firma—rich man, poor

Man, cock-eyed, ham-strung and hog-tied,

Women starry-eyed and dreamy, a hopeful

Child with a wild idea of what this here life

Ought to be. Tell me, please, what on Earth is

Today worth? Some would claim a gold mine

Day, others may awaken to a swift kick in the ass.

Today, a first day ever for some, for others perhaps

The very last. For all it’s worth, no matter your

Persuasion, personal preference or destination,

Early riser or sleep-in late, today is worth at best

One complete axial rotation of the Planet Earth.

24-hours, no more, possibly less is what you’ve

Got here, my Friend. Better get started!
