Everyone hears "the future" and automatically
"Oh years from now."
But that's not it.
Two seconds from now is the future.

That's what is scary,
The future is an always.
It is a constant.
The future is all the time.

Why say you are scared of the future,
But not be specific?
The future can means seconds, minutes, years.
It is always here.
And always near.

Just live in the now
Because every second
Becomes the past,
But every second
Is the future.
