Why do people who live in the here and now
long for the distant future
and people who claim a future mind
long to relive the past
Perhaps a clueless resolve of the here and now,
a fear of the next step.
The future and the past are comfortably known,
the next step is filled with anxiety and speculation
the next step is not what anyone envisions.
Will the next step produce the future we envision?
Don't know. Who will take it? Not me, what about you?
No way, I don't know how it will turn out.
We have fashion and cars that change every half year,
architecture and minds change with the glaciers.
I've always wondered why grungy apocalyptic scenes with seasoned feudal anarchy
are faithfully rendered as a hopeless future. The future is coming, we are doomed!
While one sings the Happy song, another sings Let it go or is that Let it snow?
We stand at the door tugging till the hinges are ready to bust. Salt 'n' Peppa magically appear,
Push it, push it real good! Cause that is the next step.
We've been waiting to move so long the past has caught up to us.
Time to take the next step.
The house model project is progressing, the building stage is done, next the painting.
