Hey: change of plans.
I know we agreed to get together
this morning
for coffee
in Huntington at Cronut Palace
an hour ago
– shoot
I didn’t realize the time –
but I overslept
and I’d like to reschedule.

Oh! They won’t seat you until I arrive?
You’ve been there how long?
Sorry
but really
you can’t pin this on me.
When we made the plans
last night
I was a different Jon.
I was optimistic.
I was happy.
I was drunk.

Yesterday Jon was ready for anything
the day offered
but he had not actually seen the day.
He was not prepared.
He was blind.
You can blame stupid Yesterday Jon
for the state of today
but not me.
I wasn’t there.

I’m Today Jon.
Pleased to meet you.
So
let us reschedule.
How does eight AM sound for you tomorrow?
Of COURSE I’ll be there.
I promise.
