And So It Goes

Human experience hasn’t changed.

Life events, circumstances, concomitants 

are always changing.

People get excited when something new

comes along….excited or horrified,

and so it goes.

If you think about it, there is nothing new

under the sun.

It’s all a re-run.

Sure, it looks new, has that new car smell

that quickly fades.

Even if 3I/Atlas is an alien craft, we’ve had

every scenario of possibility already described 

in all the movies and science fiction novels,

which means it’s more than just a possibility.

Past, present and future are all within the mind.

What can happen and what will happen are

already happening…the clues are already there.

Seeds have been planted long ago.

Fruition is just a matter of time, like the Denver

Nuggets basketball team,

like Communists in the USA,

like Trump and the “plan”,

like where your mother’s drinking, smoking,

bad eating habits will lead.

“If you want to see the future, look at the present.

If you want to see the past, look at the present.”

This is what the wise men say.

Reality doesn’t care whether you like it or not,

like a parent that says it’s time for bed.

Things will work out better if one adheres to the truth.

If not, the inevitable will take a little longer.

In that sense, having cancer is the same as being born.

They’re both what happens.

If you can dig it, neither is a problem.

From beginning to end, it just goes.

Get on the bus, or be left behind,

meaning,

use your intelligence because no one can know

better than you.
