What happened to yesterday?

Caught in rewind going fast forward.

 

Cannot take it any more

Going to lock the door

And keep the world out

The clock has stopped

Its hand like mine are still

Move, move I say

You have to start this day

I know you will

Wait a minute, what day is it?

What happened to yesterday?

What does it matter anyways?

The dust is still there, do I care?

Mailbox mocks me, full of bills

Can’t decide what to wear

Or what to do with my hair

Leftovers are my best friend

One less dollar I have to spend

Catch the train read the paper

Ignore the face of my neighbor

All that, and at the end of the day

I wonder what does it matter anyways.

this is a really good and well-written poem! explains wonderfully the people of today who are soo caught up in life's petty things which have no importance whatsoever
