Post Hoc Ergo Propter Hoc
The lie
“After this, therefore because of this”
is true
cuz treadmill don’t stop
stomach don’t quit
rent don’t go away
no winner’s circle
no golden ring
and the view down the road
looks to be a bad disaster movie
with its tacky tawdry
unfun unfair
one more Zen joke on folk
so it’s down to mirrors and moments:
who do you see in the mirror in the morning
when you hold your moments close?
