Now or Laters

We pray
Take a multi-vitamin
Deposit faithfully into a 401(k)
These things
Bribes of a sort
Talismans against tomorrow
And, today
Stands before us humbly
Strangely less insistent
And patiently asks
Have you got a minute?
It is easier
Sometimes
To face tomorrow
In preference of today
Easier to pretend
A façade controlling the unseen
Avoiding the admission
Today obeys it's own master
And it is not me
