Extra!  Extra!  Read all about it!
Man in black overcoat gives

tomorrow will escape from
today.  the more you lose the
yesterday, the tighter you
	    hold it.
 Please, sir, can I have some more?
		     What?
I'm so very parched (real thirst).

the heavier your suitcase
full of yesterdays becomes,
the slower you run to chase
tomorrow--and the less you 
notice this very today.

 I'm so tired
 just to sit
 fold my hands 
 and rest...

pull the yesterdays from the 
suitcase and roll them up as 
pillows (to replace the dreams
about tomorrows) and sleep.
