We schedule each day

each week, month, year,

as if they’re promised

and as long as we have something coming

we’ll find our way there

But nothing is for certain

no matter how we fill the spreadsheet

We can arrange the future all we wish

move plans and thoughts and appointments

like points on maps or flow charts

but there’s still no guarantee

and all the empty assumptions

won’t make the path any more sure

from here to anywhere
