tomorrow never knows, or so i'm told,
what will occur or how i should react;
so how to plan? if my predictions hold,
it's just by chance; my thoughts have no impact.
or might they? since we need a thought to start
a willful move towards action or a change,
today's thought of tomorrow is a part
that cannot be ignored. if it seems strange
that thought without an act could change the world,
consider Geller's spoons: in them we see
the physical effect of thought: their curl.
they show how powerful one thought can be.
but Geller's skill belongs to more than one--
tomorrow always knows what thought's begun.
