Today is yesterday's future past, tomorrow.

So forgive me, this isn't a troll. It's something I thought up a few months ago as a comment for something. What kind of statement would this be? I'm having a hard time figuring out if it's true or if I worded it incorrectly or if the punctuation is off.

Not really a logical fallacy, but just a statement, albeit poorly worded and a bit confusing one.

Today is yesterday's future past, tomorrow.

Today is yesterday's future, and tomorrow's past.

I would say this is more of a philosophical statement/claim.

Ah, yes. I seem to remember a similar trope, years ago after a plenary session of the International Committee for the Regulation of Lysergic Acid Diethylamide, when it was famously reported that one of our members wanted to debate the topic, but was later tabled for the day after yesterday, three days hence. I don't recall what the outcome was, but it was a trip, man.
