tomorrow

you check your calendar,
your wallet,
your box of safe keepings,
your back pack
and box in the attic.
you check everywhere
that you've placed a tomorrow.
all the excuses
that you've spread out
over the years
and saved, are there.
tomorrow. always tomorrow.
you're running
out of places to put them.
even your mouth
can't utter the word
anymore, having no room
left to speak it.
