You Are Here Poem by RIC BASTASA

you are here
at this point
you read
these few lines

do not panic
about what you will be

that is the business
of the future

you do not go there
where it will still be
they come to you
slowly
do not panic
do not ever be excited
do not even think

it will just come
to you
for you
you do not change
it will change
you

you have no feet
to walk in there
no mind to think
about what will be
it is futile

the future has a mind
of its own
its rules
and premonitions

it comes and be open
it has its own arms
and will soon embrace you
for whatever it brings
be glad

things happen
because they always will
do not begin
it will always be futile
