_Knowing ‘Tomorrow’_

There is more you said
 than the matter-of-fact, that entire lives are preconceived
by the revolving orbits in space moving in mathematical trajectories around a flickering
sun, tracing out ellipses in the dark, alighting destinies, unlocking a door of 
which the other side was always known.

I do not question faiths,
 faith’s absence stings me. I watch as you cross the street
sure of the signs, the vehicles moving, as if there was nothing to stop you getting
to the other side where a small boy, bare-chested, holds up a newspaper. “Is it 
today’s?”, you ask, he stares back at you as if to solicit an answer.
