Scars inside heart and brain
a flesh torn zipper at my cuff
all reminders
of the pain of staying
and the
permanency of departure
today isn’t yesterday
I remind myself each
waking
tomorrow won’t be today
when today begins to feel
like some old yesterdays
hourglass sands
each grain
forever or possibilities
this is what I tell myself
sitting in this car
engine idling
drinking a Coke
and watching
Netflix on my phone
flipping a mental coin
to finish this episode
or shut the garage door
and cancel my own season
