In Mantinades*

Yesterday will be better when tomorrow had been reversed.

Today never happened as soon as all other times dispersed.

-----

Sunday and Monday are the same in the scheme of human things.

Days can be created with words depending on what time brings.

-----

There was a time when I was happier than I will be now.

There will be a time when I will be happier to meow.

-----

I love Anthi Kanéna but she is fictitious today.

I loved her in another life before we saw the replay.

-----

Time is relative and space is infinite when life matters.

There are so many claps for XY but not enough clappers.

-----

* A mantinada typically consists of a Cretan 15-syllable rhyming couplet. Mantinades is the plural. Dedicated to more time.
