Some days are meant
For doing nothing—
The Greeks know this
Better than anybody else,
You could say it’s the driving
Force behind everything they do,
Best expressed in what has to be
Their favorite saying, “Don’t do
Anything today that can be better
Done tomorrow”—of course
When tomorrow does decide
To pay a visit, it’s become today
And you’re back to square one
With nothing to show
For your patience save
One more day spent imagining
A tomorrow that mercifully
Enough never comes your way.
