b99 (2.16-2.2021): hindsight 2020.

hindsight 2020 [1]

by joal martino 

hindsight 2020
out without a bang
no pocalyptic nightmare
no song fat lady sang
 
just an icy whimper
leaving us confused
hindsight 2020
back to old (fake) news
________________________
 
·         as this book (happily) comes to a close (with a whimper), there’s a part of the human psyche that actually gets addicted to immanent, apocalyptic danger. life seems boring without it.

·         not to worry.  it’s the job of news to report create the new clickbait, and there will be plenty to talk about, even when there’s nothing (of note) to note.

·         2020 (the big, bad, roller-coaster) is rolling to a close.  nothing more than another old chapter in another old book on the shelf.
 
hindsight 2020: it was an entertaining ride.
