<p class="has-text-align-center">On how the future is, INEVITABLE!&nbsp; Translated…</p>



<p class="has-text-align-center"><em>Future is in the Tick-Tocking of the Clocks</em></p>



<p class="has-text-align-center"><em>Maybe You Can’t Hear it, is the Sound it’s Making</em></p>



<p class="has-text-align-center"><em>An End, of a, Beginning?</em></p>



<p class="has-text-align-center"><em>You Passed Through that Multi-Colored Springtime</em></p>



<p class="has-text-align-center"><em>You Saw the Shades Underneath the Bushes</em></p>



<p class="has-text-align-center"><em>Is it at Rest, or, is it, Waiting for its Chance, to Pounce?</em></p>



<p><em>The Windows Used the Light, Played that Script of Love, Life &amp; Death of the Dust Particles</em></p>



<p><em>This Fate that’s, Turning Over &amp; Over, is it, Testing Your Life to See if it’s, Deep, Enough?</em></p>



<p><em>You’d Drawn the Curtains, Wanting the Dusts to, Settle?</em></p>



<p><em>On the Subject of the Future, Will We Both Still be, There?</em></p>



<p><em>The Roads that Lengthened Themselves Out, Started with the Silence of Today</em></p>



<p><em>From Shopping for Vegetables from Lowering Your Head to Cough</em></p>



<p class="has-text-align-right"><em>What We are Breathing in, that Last Breath of, History</em></p>



<p class="has-text-align-right"><em>As We Laughed Aloud, the Cold Air Inside are Just Too Shy to Come out</em></p>



<p class="has-text-align-right"><em>Our Gloating, is Merely, the Interests Paid out of the Nightmares</em></p>



<p class="has-text-align-right"><em>As Fatigue Attacked, Won’t You Close Your Eyes</em></p>



<p class="has-text-align-right"><em>To See the Stars as the Caves on that Black Screen</em></p>



<p class="has-text-align-right"><em>Where Both Our Ancestors, Once Resided</em></p>



<p class="has-text-align-right"><em>That Cave, More Ancient than the Futures</em></p>



<p class="has-text-align-right"><em>Unwithered Like the Stars, Like the Plum Blossoms Already Withered Away in April</em></p>



<p class="has-text-align-right"><em>Who Will Tell it, that the Osmanthus Will Blossom in August?</em></p>



<p class="has-text-align-right"><em>Don’t Use Your Impatience to Disturb the Future</em></p>



<p><em>Don’t Use the Wrinkles on Your Faces to Make Them into</em></p>



<p><em>That Evening Gown of Your, Futures</em></p>



<p><em>As the Future Really Comes, it Will, Review Over the You Back When</em></p>



<p><em>To See if, it’s, Still the You in Time</em></p>



<p class="has-text-align-center">And so, this, just shows, how we don’t need to worry about the future, come what may, what’s to come, will come, and don’t matter how you dodge it, you still, can’t escape!</p>
