One day

One year
in the span of a day
we know.
We've grown.
Butternut just whittled away.
Got the
Feet of a crow.

In time
could the daylight hours grow?
If so
who knows?
Could you bank a few extra dimes?
Sublime.

Don't say
'one day' ever again.
Let's go.
This glow
Getting dim by the day.
Classic refrain.

I know
I'm slow to get going.
Please stay.
My brain
works like paper mache,
just a patchwork of paste.

I'm down at the corner cafe sipping bitter cliche.
