Something either will or won’t
happen
in the next couple of months—
is it worthwhile planning?
Well, whether it happens or not
is mostly my decision,
but I’m stumped—
will it happen or won’t it happen?—
which one will be the champion?
The hopes I’ve lumped
on foresightful planning
were tragically misplaced,
since some misshapen
abomination with five humps
has now taken over the prospect of what will or won’t happen,
while I rest, abstracted, in
the lap of fortune
(Ok, should I run or should I punt?)—
engaged in planning
important aspects of my future,
(assuming I don’t come down with the covid mumps)?
The future either will or won’t happen.
No point in planning.
