I have tested positive for all this negativity,

unsurprisingly my eyes would only see the
corrugations in society.

I look for and expect the worst as if
my heart was empty
and my head would
burst with all the minus signs that mark
these end of times,
and negative is what you get when I give,
it's like a magic carpet
being woven with the wools
of regret
flying and yet
not,
or
a spot that cannot be removed,

either way to change this modus operandi
I must believe in the positive
give out that which I want to get
and get that which
I exude,
change my attitude,
the way I look at things
the way things seem to be
is not the way they
have to be.
