everybody lives for the future.
it seems like,
nobody ever lives for the present.

we all rush.
rush like mad.
to get the As.
to get the job.
the promotion.
the money.

for the future we say.
it's healthy.
humph.
is it?
is it really?
the obsession?

have we even got time to look?
to stop.
to stop and stare at the present.
hasn't it got any value?

WHY DON'T WE LIVE A BIT FOR THE PRESENT?
for what we have now.
why?
why not?

ignoring the present,
what do we do?
we continue looking forward.
to live for the road.
to live for the coming paths.
to live for the the later tunnels.
to live for what lies ahead.

but you know,
what lies ahead,
is only,
a junction saying


The End.



living for the end?
that's sick.

that's right.
you modernites.
live,
to,
die.
