The world expands

I tried to explain this over coffee. 

I was not successful. 

I am not always successful. 

Welcome to the world I inhabit

We grow older,

The world expands

Beyond anything

We knew before,

Well beyond

Anything we knew.

We think we knew and lo

We didn’t.

Here comes

That new thing

We were not aware of

Yesterday,

Only recognized

Today.

We could not have known it

Yesterday.

It took all of yesterday

To expand

Into today.

I tried to name this

Over coffee

This morning.

I’m not sure

I was successful

But then again

Success has changed today

From yesterday

Too.
