The cup of life is not refillable!

The cup of life is not refillable!

A Poem by andrew mitchell

Oh pour me
yesterday in a cup
so I may drinketh.
For I will
tomorrow secrete
the very waste
from it.
But give me today
to ponder,
as I dig my grave,
ready for the future.

My favorite part: "I will tomorrow secrete the very waste from it" . . . very stark & original way to show the connection between days that run together. I like this for some reason! (((HUGS))) Fondly, Margie
