There will be more solutions
than problems in the race
for non-existence.
Traffic will be by tunnel
and invariably fatal
to minimize upkeep.
All-risk benefits will be
socialized on a single
pay-as-you-go tax plan.
To save time and expense
cemeteries will provide
one-room efficiencies.
Everything will be reduced
to simple essentials.
We will need very little.
Books will be easy to read
backwards or upside down
and even without looking.
Music will be produced by noise
in various degrees
and ingenious combinations.
A few zoos and museums
will be allowed to preserve
some relics of art and nature.
As a change from monotony,
schools and churches will be open
on special anniversaries.
We will be too busy dying
the rest of the time to think
or believe in anything else.
