5004. I WILL GO INTO THE FUTURE

I WILL GO INTO THE FUTURE
A pure metabolism that makes a certain rhythm;
that which stays with me, that which lingers. 'Well,

y'know, for the deal and the party.' I said I was afraid I didn't,
and let it go at that. She didn't care and didn't notice anyway.

That was a few months back; now the weather has changed 
and we're awaiting Spring. When this happened, it was at the
end of Summer, and people were still drinking beer outside.
