why do i feel like i'm going to be surprised by something that never went away to begin with?
it was never completely gone so why did i play the realist, expecting the inevitable then, and now, when it's real again, I feel unprepared?
you can't drink an expensive vitamin supplement and it will disappear
you can't link up a prayer chain all across america and pray this one away
it's been there for a long time and it might be back now
and as a realist, if it's not now, it will be one day
