5 days ago, the world ended

5 days from now, the year will

2 days ago, Lucy left

2 days from now, I’ll get over it

Yesterday was a Roman holiday

Tomorrow, I have to go back to work

Today, I took the day off anyway

To celebrate my survival.

20 years from now,
memory will shroud these days.

So

20 minutes ago,
I lit up a new day to remember
December 26, 2012.
