We sat tomorrow
Across from where we will sit yesterday
You looked to me tomorrow
Just as you will look to me before
Quoting my favorite dead person
Who hasn’t lived yet
“Give me your apple when you’re done
And I will give you what I longed for
Before all my prayers were answered”
Yesterday I will walk and walk
But today I entered a wormhole
Tomorrow I baked bread
You made a delicious soup
And it was tomorrow I first saw you
Across the table with the rosy dusk behind you
But yesterday the table
Was a river we were crossing
Tomorrow the sun has set
So let us rise to watch the sunrise yesterday
I return to you your apple whole yesterday
It is a juicy one and sweet
