Telescope

I’m stuck in my own head,
I can’t see past the next
twenty-four
to forty-eight hours

How can I plan
for the future
when I can’t
see that far?

When I look through
the telescope you hand me,
I don’t recognize that person,
they know what they want,

and in five years they figured
out how to arrange it
for themselves, are you sure
I can do that?
