MY BRAND-NEW DAILY PLANNER

        MY BRAND-NEW DAILY PLANNER

    I like to plan,
        I like these pages bare,
        my future fresh.
    (I never mind the cost.)
        So many possibilities!
        With care I keep it,
            fearing, dreading it might get lost.
    My old one seems so fragile,
        patched and stained,
        With names and numbers
            crammed on every line.
        So much crossed out   
        and yet a lot remained,
        Insertions, too,
            but not by my design.
    The heedless youth believes
        "I'll never die!"
    The old
        "Is this the day?"
    We in-betweens obsess,
        "By greasy valves?
        By sugar high?
        By bug bite,
        bomb,
        false step?
        By threats unseen?"
    I can't control
        the where or when or how.
    Still I prefer
        to start my planning now.
