20 versions of tomorrow
Play out in my head
Tail lights and Street lights
Sprinkle the sky with electronic rubies
Leafless trees upstretch their branches
Like arms in hallejuh to God above
20 Converstions I'll have tomorrow
Play over in my head
Shiney onyx rain washed roads
Lay out before me like licorice ropes
Water under moving tires crackle like bacon
The passenger seat void except radio blather
20 Versions of tomorrow
All possible, none probable
My blinker is clicking in time
With the anxious beats in my chest
I turn left into my driveway
No time left for today
Just the 20 versions of tomorrow
And what lies for me ahead
