Remembering Yesterday
I can't remember
Yesterday
but I know it happened
the computer confirms
my suspicion
the date changes automatically
and it's never been wrong before
I am not sure what I did yesterday
but now it's today
and today is what
I look forward to
it would be great if
I could recall yesterday
but I will just let it go
I'll write myself a note
to remember today
and stick it on the refrigerator
I am just happy
that I woke up this morning
I do remember that.

Aha - a nod to the past: in the short term.
"Yesterday, my memory seemed so sure to stay
Now It seems somehow to have slipped away
Cos I can't remember yesterday..." (apologies to Sir P.) ?
