February in the year of the Goat
Or 2015 if you aren't Chinese.
2015? I thought (way back when)
we'd have flying cars and wrist TVs.
OK. The iPhone _is_ close.
If I'd thought about living in 2015
I woulda/shoulda have taken better care of myself.
And bought Exxon stock.
I guess “I'm Still Here!” is the thing
And if the world is a ghastly mess-and it is-
It is perhaps the best it has ever been.
So, in the spirit of scientific endeavor,
I will put my rabbit's foot in my pocket,
throw salt over my left shoulder,
firmly grasp my Philosopher’s stone
and pour myself a beer.
