First Bite

The evening is a mouse,

Nibbling the day away


And I'm still on my first bite.

Prepared tomorrow

May have to wait—I still


Have a few mouthfuls

of yesterday that I


Haven't quite finished.


There's a lot on my plate,

But at the same time

It's empty.


It depends on how I

Want to see it;

If I'm willing to nibble,

Or devour.
