Poem 151- Living in the Future

Living in the Future

We are making big plans
We are making huge plans
We are making the best plans I have ever heard or thought of in my life
I can’t wait
How about a few more months?
How about tomorrow?
Or right now? Lets do it right now
But how will it feel to be living in those plans
To be living in my permanent future
How will it feel to be in my daydream with you?
You will be the same I am sure
How could you be anymore delightful or any more yourself
But me, what about me, what if I’m different
What if sensible, stupid, surrendered me is
Awful… messy, emotional, ugly, tired…boring.

I think the excitement will prevent this transformation, as will your love
And care. I think maybe you are all I need to maintain myself.  It’s worked
So far, since I have known you. I can’t see how I can change if you won’t.


Thank you for inviting me to the future, I can't wait. I think we’ll be fantastic, futuristic and fun.
