Yesterday, today (an ode to the first day of autumn)

"Yesterday..."
there is a sweet feeling
a melancholy and a nostalgia
"...all my troubles seemed so far away..."
a little swing of hips, a shoulder dip
"...now it seems as though they're here to stay..."
a celebration behind the counter
"...oh, I believe in Yesterday."
I pay for my coffee and seek out a table
today, already bright
