Tomorrow

(Post Valentine's Day Announcement)



Tomorrow I will buy a bouquet for the breakfast table

I will sign a post card dedicated to myself

And write myself Happy Valentine’s Day!

Tomorrow I will dust the mirror

I will ripen my lips like a luscious apple

And paint my nails flamenco red

Tomorrow I will walk barefoot and splash in every puddle

I will let the wind blow my head scarf in the air

And let the sparrows nest in my curly hair

Tomorrow I will go insane

I will elope with the Prince of Wales

And cross the Sahara on the back of a crooked camel

Tomorrow I will be impossible

I will pour the water from the Atlantic to the Pacific with a pail

And squeeze all the rose buds to bloom in a day

Tomorrow I will fall again

Down Niagara Falls

Down Sears Towers

Down Himalayas

But not in love!
