Someday Today

I lived a life
where time stood still
yet sped up
and raced until

Years had flown
on hours spent
in a job
of discontent

I loved men
and watched them go
I bet too high
and they too low

Someday I’ll leave
Someday I’ll fly
See the world
Say goodbye

To stagnant hours
and traffic jams
To everyday
the same old plans

The open road
it sings my song
My heart is wide
the journey long

Today is here
Now is the time
I’ll take someday
and make it mine
