It seems we have short memories, we forget
that things have already happened before.

Time is strange that way, now we can
predict what has already occurred.

Imagine that, when we look backward,
we are also looking forward!

If you’re not confused by this, you are
probably just taking things for granted.

Maybe it’s better that way, just letting
things take their natural course.

The big secret is, it’s none of our business.
The wise know, it’s futile to try and interfere.

We’re the audience, let’s not get carried away
by things which merely come and go.

Bodies, worlds, even vast universes of things
arise and then disappear right before our eyes.

It doesn’t take a prophet to predict that no thing
will last — that’s just the way things are.

When the credits scroll down, the audience gets up
and leaves the theater, then the silent cleaners arrive
to sweep things up before the next scheduled show.
