Sometimes I see the future and
it doesn’t look like what you’d think
There are no light sabers or flying cars.
It is not a post-nuclear wasteland or utopia,
and we have not ventured any further
into the outer reaches of anything.

Instead, the future is sitting right in front of me
At the grocery store sorting through coupons.
And it’s why I’m going to be late for work.
When I see the future I smile sympathetically
But am afraid to look it in the eyes.

- We all want to do something extraordinary and all those dreams seem just on the horizon in high school but somewhere after that they fade and the reality of our ordinariness sets in. Regardless of my feelings I hope that I will simply be in the path of God.
