(((...Of Tomorrow (Waiting? ?)))) Poem by Theodora (Theo) Onken

'Antiscipation' isn't that a Carly Simon song?

It needs to resolve itself into an answer... 'NOW'...

And as surely as it comes around......

'Tomorrow' 'twil hide 'neath a: 'Broken Bough';



From a barren-half-broken down Oak Tree-

Somewhat ravaged by the ICE-chill of 'Fall' air......

It hides 'Tomorrow' from 'Todays' 'Glaring Vulture Eyes'-

They're waiting, they're waiting: 'on things that they think:

'Death Might Share'............



'Antiscipation' it does more than frustrate their minds...

As a falling 'Leaf'-borne upon the dying Earthen Ground-

'Tis 'Yesterday' it speaks, in weak graven tones-

And 'Tomorrow' 'tis the: 'Shadows of Yesterdays Found'
