Invite Our Day

Live each day
as if this day were your last.

What do you mean, dear?
Each day is your last day.

Well, no,
not if you have another tomorrow,
or perhaps even if you merely plan for a tomorrow
which never comes to pass.

Oh I see what you mean,
I think...
Well then,
wouldn't you be better off and on to say
Live this day
as if it included your best and only tomorrow?

Maybe...
But, each day does include our only tomorrow.

I don't think so.
Not if you have yet another tomorrow
after this day,
or one at least planning on being
more than one tomorrow.

What do you mean
by more than one tomorrow?
I thought I had only one of these,
which continually precedes and processes me
by a minimum of 24 hours.

Hmm...
Then sometimes your tomorrow feels longer
and sometimes shorter
than it should
or could
or might actually become?

But that's just it, my dear.
Tomorrow never actually arrives,
ever closer by imagining it longer.
Yet imaging tomorrow as remarkably short
at least brings me closer
to Earth's timeless eternity
of integrative promise.

So that's what you mean
by living daily
as if today includes your best and last tomorrow?

Yes, but sometimes no.
That sounds like an invitation
to nihilism,
often confused with liberation
away from future's regenerous invitation.

How about
Nurture each day
as if today invites your fullest potential
for integrally controlling all our cooperative tomorrows?

It lacks a certain
timeless
ring.
It does not rhythmic zing.
However acute is your ping.

How about
we Yin today
as if rethinking YangYin together
all WinWin tomorrows?

I think we might become
together winning.

Economically and politically too?

As trans-regenderally sacred
through this still small failing futures voice.

Are we through?

It's been good for me,
how about tomorrow you?

The Climax
as tomorrow's co-operative beginning.

How LeftBrain capitalizing of us, dear.

Yinning Yang
us two,
WinWin planning
our mutual transitioning tomorrow too.

Living today
as tomorrow's first through last,
perennial spiral cooperating together
to sometimes compete tomorrows apart
to live again
this integrative timeless tomorrow.

Today invites and disinvites
Tomorrow,
transubstantiating
trans-regenerational
integrity of time.

Today is just like yesterday
except when it is different,
when we are different,
when I am different,
sometimes better
sometimes worse
usually just the same
and indifferent.

Today is just like tomorrow
imagined sometimes better
sometimes worse
usually invested cooperatively same as sane
and yet competitively indifferent
insanity.

Live today
through better inviting cooperative tomorrow.

Yin
as tomorrow becomes our best Yang.

Yin,
(wu wei midway co-arising).

You know,
I can see, and sometimes hear and feel,
your implicating dialectal parenthetical commentary.

(I dipolar hope so.)

Or what,
no better tomorrow?

(I love only notnot threat free,
double-binding.)

Ecopolitical logic for today's tomorrow.

(cooperatively designing tomorrow's today)

OK,
you can stop with annoying 
book-ended 
perpetual double-bind parenthesis.

I hoped we were just now getting started.

Yes, but I'm living today
so we optimize our tomorrow returns
so your Yimplications
might best explicate more widely.

(and deeply)

(Oh, now 
you go through tomorrow...)

(Love
your dualdark Yanguage)

(How LeftBrain cooperative positivist of us.)

(feeling aptically warm and dreamy 
nonpunctuating tomorrows now)

Promise.

(could we talk about this our tomorrow)

...I think she's today asleep.

Nope, still almost here
and there,
feeling best in eternal interdependent now.

Seize the day.

Invite our timeless tomorrow.
