no day

 no day

now 

at this moment in time

all of us will have no tomorrow 

eventually

but of course others will

but soon

and sooner than you think

no one will have a tomorrow 

the concept of tomorrow will end

and all the poems ever written

will not be read 

all dead   all dead

so

if your poem does not work today

then it never will

still 

we will write them don’t we

i don’t think we should bother 

but we will

it seems to be the saying that is the thing

even saying   the end

but there will be no real end

for only the living can see an end

but

to all the dead tomorrows 

nothing 

just look at me 

writing this to tell you not to

write like this

thinking about no tomorrow’s

don’t you think it a bit daft

well

do you

you’ll better be quick to reply

before the quick and the dead

are just

the dead and the dead

forever unread
