Same day tomorrow

"Same Time Tomorrow

You know that little clock, the one on your VCR

the one that's always blinking twelve noon

because you never figured out

how to get there and change it?

So it's always the same time

just the way it came from the factory.

Good morning. Good night.

Same time tomorrow. We're in record.

So here are the questions: Is time long or is it wide?

And the answers? Sometimes the answers

just come in the mail. And one day you get that letter

you've been waiting for forever. And everything it says

is true. And then in the last line it says:

Burn this. We're in record.

And what I really want to know is: Are things getting better

or are they getting worse? Can we start all over again?

Stop. Pause. We're in record. Good morning. Good night.

Now I in you without a body move.

And in our hearts we fly. Standby.

Good morning. Good night."
