Journey

We’ve come this far,

a little further

isn’t going to hurt

any more than it

already has.

We’ve come this far,

and survived,

like our ancestors

who we can thank

if so inclined.

And what the hell:

if we don’t make it

there’ll be plenty

ready and willing

to take our place.

We’ve come this far.

We won’t starve.

And what’s the worst

that could happen?

People talking?

They won’t spend

much time on it.

They’ll be too busy

wondering how

far they’ve come.

We’ve come this far,

just one more step.
