This one time

For this one time
we appear
collect possessions
to shade the fear
unquestioned answers
leave us behind
sometimes amusing
so I don't mind
why should I?
I'll only get confused
the future tense
still makes no sense
to someone who's into
this one time

So here and now boys
the future shock
don't say you're crippled
when you can walk
unearth this object
that you call friend
where does it start and
where does it end
