Today Was 33, So Said Jesse

There would not be another day like today

For another four long years

2030 seems so far away

But the passing of time I have ceased to fear.

And, you know what? You were right

The subway arrived just as I got to the station

And, walking, I encountered only green lights.

It was a fortuitous and appreciated vacation

From my usual strife, fight, and plight.

I’m not sure I put much stock in numbers having meaning

But, honestly, today went so well

That I might have to reconsider my esteeming

Of the numerical indicators that you tell.
