the turning of the page
...
the month really doesn't exist yet until the calendar page has turned.
the new days early on startle us as things which were "coming up"
are now fully upon us.
surprise, they say.
we are not the future; we are the now.
and the suddenness of the approach knocks us off balance.
plans made eons ago suddenly require implementation.
things which were future are now on today's to do list.
what was "not quite here yet" is now today's details.
the onslaught of time
starts with the turn of the calendar page.
