This Is Just a Test
just in case
ever comes
a day they
decide to
warm up
the cold
war for
that's
what
it
seems so
today for
i'm practicing
retirement in
preparation
last night i
stayed up
as late as
i liked
having
in mind to not
set an alarm
clock just
wake when
it felt like
it's time
never
mind
ing
to
call the first
food i put in
my mouth
breakfast or
dinner but just
enter the
kitchen
and hey
maybe i
still left
nachos right
by the book
and beer i
was consuming
last night or
should i say
this morning
for now fair
warning
time
according to the
handbook has
been always
mistaken or
took out of
context and
since the
text that's
next to the
nachos
is about the space
time continuum and
multidimensional
multiverses i'm
starting to think
that the salsa
might still be
hot though
tasting mild
and the cheese
still melted and then
oops there it is as
i meld into the chair
but not the same chair
that was there because
that chair was somewhere
else earlier and now is...
well it just was...
now but... now it's
then...
so at some point
in time all be it
a pin hole i've
already retired
they've already fired
and used the nukes
but i'm wearing
a t-shirt that
reads: YOU
LOOK LIKE
I
NEED
A DRINK
