Managing the Present

The past overtakes you, steps out from a door you did not see before. Distant bird song becomes a crow caw in your ears. You recall all those yesterdays and wonder, wonder if you had taken a different path would you be here now or somewhere better? I mean, it's not as if you had the life-skills to manage this day or tomorrow, but you choose to forget that and that may be the best choice.
