For Poppy's prompt "Write a poem about a specific day and make the title a date," in the FB group Vocal * Voices in Minor.
----
today
same as yesterday
different from tomorrow
until it becomes yet another today,
then once again, same as yesterday
the yesterdays I cannot change
tomorrows are never promised
all I have to be is today.
and today
I.
Am.
Alive.
