Yesterday I swam in a language bath, in warm honey milk.
Today only a thin, cold stream trickles out.
Tomorrow I’ll dive into bubbling word waves.
Yesterday I couldn’t learn enough.
Today I feel overwhelmed.
Tomorrow I’ll find balance.
Yesterday I always wanted more.
Today I want much less.
Tomorrow I’ll have enough.
Yesterday I was cocky.
Today I’m humble.
Tomorrow I’ll be wise.
Yesterday is over.
Tomorrow doesn’t matter.
Today counts.
Today.
