equilibrium
you can only guess
speculate what comes next
oh yes it’s a guessing game
but there are technical & scientific
components as well
not to mention
common
sense
the past is not any indication
of what comes next
because what comes next
is hideous & beautiful
it’s the worst thing imaginable
it’s the most fantastic invention
it’s like a miracle or a gift
or the unspeakable form of death
yes it’s true the trees are burning
the cattle have no water
and on a daily basis
masses turn into ashes
turn to dust
joining the chorus of the unknown
suddenly privy
to what comes next
march two thousand twenty-four
