Tomorrow Is Yesterday Is Today



Brian Anthony Hardie



Maybe the under garment was a diluted

Invite to sit in the rain. I’ll take the gift

And be on my way to the anti-suppressant

Seminar. Tomorrow and the recent past are only

Of great consequence in the meaning of truth. Tall tales

Collide when my hair is below my eyes, requesting

Permission to be blown in the wind. Reduce chest pains

By taking the anemic side.

Replace the rubber love boat by sneaking up on the great white.

I’ll sit on your porch and linger until a visitor comes to take

The silence away. Bring on the melodies under the surface,

And conduct an action of superior social livelihood. Bring down

The buildings, who ask the heavens for a little breathing space.

Walk past the racial differences in this October summer cold.

Bypass on feelings that concentrate on a friendless man in

Desolate bindings.

Forget punctuation and write a masterpiece.

Building blocks to a new failing future rip up the pages

That carries a childhood scent. Make public the little boy

On the sidewalk that opens his arms to any windshield wiper.

I’m too small to see when the resident explains. Walks right through me and

The daily paper notes. I’ll fast until I have to leave this

Criminal state of bliss. Walk to the empty room and leave the badge

Behind. Scribble your thoughts and keep a divine presence. Maybe the clouds

Will clear for my journey home.
