Glowing Monkeys in Japan

Today is May 28th, 2009.

After today, I will never be able to say that again. I'll be able to look back and remember this day, but what will I remember?

..Is there anything worth remembering about today?
Not for me.
For me, today is the empty pasture blending into the barren sky. Today is the movement of the second hand running around aimlessly in circles. Today is the person you walked by today that you didn't even see, and never will for the rest of your life. Today is a progression of the crevasses soon to be carved into my youth and the silver threads to be sewn into the walls of my upstairs.
But, that's just me.
This day will be chiseled into minds.
"Today is the day ...

I married the love of my life."

I gave birth to my wonderful child."

I finally filed for a divorce."

I was told my toddler isn't going to make it."


Today will grant an epiphany, today will damage a brain.
It will will wreck a car, and grow a flower.
Today is memorable, forgettable.
Powerful, weak.
Present
past.
