I hope to be wrong
about climate change
and about COVID.
Being wrong
is the best case scenario
and f*ck,
I want that best case scenario
to happen
so f*ckin’ bad.
But I’m preparing
to be right.
I’m preparing for food shortages.
I’m preparing for mass disability.
I’m preparing for floods.
I’m preparing not to have
the ability to write books
or expend a lot of energy
running the business.
If I’m wrong,
and I hope
I WILL be wrong,
I’ll have extra food.
I’ll have extra funds.
I’ll have a business
that almost runs itself.
There’s no significant downside
to preparing.
But there is a significant downside
to not preparing.
Hope to be wrong
regarding the dire predictions
but prepare to be right.
