when i grow up i want to go down
on today's promises
go back on my word
i made yesterday to tomorrow.
i'd like to show tomorrow this
SEX PROBLEMS? poster i found
pasted on the campus walls
as if its Strictly Stick No Bills
were a byline for the bygones.
IMPOTERCY? SHORTLY SPERMS COME OUT?
SPERMS WATER TYPE? GONORRHEA SYPHILIPS?
i'd like to show tomorrow this because
apparently it never comes.

even the sun doesn't have a bright future ahead :
it's a bloated red and then white and wordless
but leave it to the pamphlets to convince even
entropy that their sun is bound for a bright future
under their right guidance. under them, the sky is
the limit. drained, the sunbrain wheels westward.
