Emily Dickinson

Tomorrow – Whose Location

Tomorrow – Whose Location - meaning Summary

Tomorrow as Uncertain Promise

The poem confronts the idea of "tomorrow" as an ambiguous force. The speaker sees it as both a deceptive, lingering hallucination and a retriever that might collect every flaw or excuse. The central question asks whether tomorrow is merely an alibi that postpones responsibility or whether it genuinely holds and owns the future. The tone is skeptical and inquisitive, probing time’s role in judgment and self-accountability.
