what the future really holds?
all we have are guesses,
save for this one fact of life:
way more “no’s” than “yes’s”

life is filled with mad desire,
all the world expresses —
but we find at every turn
far more “no’s” than “yes’s”

what we want, unreachable,
nothing much addresses
what the world is, in the end,
tons more “no’s” than “yes’s”
