The Only Time is Now (Right Now)

Yesterday is a sharp-pointed bone in your throat--
Spit it out and forget it, before you choke.

Tomorrow is nothing but a filibuster, an excuse to hide in
Don't make a plan, unless you're sure you're going to ride in.

Today's trouble is trouble enough, let it quit the stage with a bow.
Wait until this play is over, until this day has turned its prow.
​
Before you look back or look forward, you must this time allow--
Now is the time, and the only time is now (right now).
