WHAT TONIGHT TAUGHT ME

One night, in the midst of wondering
What I might do with myself in ten or

Twenty years, all of my tomorrows
Finally gathered to reveal the secrets

Of their distant and impending nights.
But they all spoke at once, and I could

Not make sense of their tangled voices.
“Please,” I begged. “One at a time.”

And Tonight approached me amused,
Saying, That’s how we've always done it.
