The Chasm

It's a smile and happy and really,
who cares. I mean, maybe later,
in fact, much later, but not now,
not while I'm young. 

I'll grab a few years
and then click, throw the switch‐ 
I'm not stupid, you know.

I can see the way it is,
the way it will be ‐
if the fire burns 
let's stay warm.
