people always ask you
"what do you want to do with your life?"
"what are your goals
and aspirations?"
"what are your plans for the future?"

if all you do is plan for the future
you become a kind of miser of time,
who saves every dollar he gets
and never spends it
as if the dollar were
the real thing.

we're obsessed with this forward thinking ****
to the point we're always waiting.
waiting for our dream to come true.
waiting for our big break.
so when the day finally comes
we miss it.

we were so busy looking out
at the horizon,
we didn't even see
that there's pizza, beer
and that guy you like talking to
who's real funny
right in front of us.
also futurama's on.
