Ode to Yet Another Day


I mark the passing of days
by the words I choose to say.

Say, I choose to say, say, but
instead I whisper my words
to no one.

Sunday, it’s Sunday I tell myself,
just another word for just another

day, not really the first day of the
week for me, not the last one either,
but can’t say for sure.

Might as well be any other day
bearing any other name.

The same, I tell myself, everyday
the same, except one day in passing,
another week gone, an entire year later.

Midnight, now midnight matters,
regardless, it comes and goes with
every passing day.

A split second past 11:59 PM,
I can depend upon midnight to follow
every passing day no matter its name.

I grow that much older past
midnight every damned day
regardless of the name.

I whisper Monday, and no one
is there to hear. Mondays do not
matter to me.

Could be Tuesday, yet another
Tuesday for all I care.
