people to avoid

Tomorrow? 

Don’t know her. 

Just leave her alone. 

She’s fickle and ornery, 

in a world of her own. 

She’s gone when you get there; 

goose burnt, guests distraught. 

It’s best not to bother; 

things are better when caught. 

Like catching a sunbeam 

or a smile or a breeze 

or to catch yourself laughing 

catching up over tea. 

So I’ll live for today. 

And just think about now. 

Not when, not if, 

not later, not how.
