Making History

I’ve got this knawing suspicion

that it’s all going to be OK.

And whilst there is an element

of relief and self assurance about it,

what irritates me is that

I’ll no doubt look back

and think it wasn’t so bad after all,

when the urgency of the present

is screaming out to remind 

my future self that

it didn’t feel like it at the time.
