Chris Gaither

No Wonder

We used to wonder
What will they think of next?
 
Having lost our capacity for wonder
We insist
Now they’ve thought of everything
Which is our way of predicting the future
As more of the same
 
When the future is unknown
Anyone can claim to be psychic
But when the future is known
Everyone becomes psychotic
