Worry

show me a future
that contains no cause for concern
and I'll show you an imagination
that has no capacity to learn

forward any amount
distance, minutes
and you will see the degradation of everything
that you thought you might believe in

and also the ascension of each item
you wished the worst for
imagine it! can't you see
all the forthcoming cannot stand

against all the past wisdoms and plans
what is a person to do!
beyond of course drink another cup of coffee
until the sun goes down and then something else

rev the mind, send it after the problems
root them out of the future
and then relax with an ice cube
oh, technology, power, knowledge

thank you for guaranteeing that the days
following now, will be pleasant and safe
we the people owe you everything
for giving us everything we asked for
