Saturnian

Word of the day: Saturnian
prosperous, happy, or peaceful

the consequences no longer matter
we can't afford to think about what follows
we will do as we please
run naked across fields if we have to
drink way too much, hangover be damned
open our hearts, talk about our deepest fears
love and be loved
grab on to those fleeting feelings of joy
and make the world ours

we will turn the present into
one we can look back at fondly
when years have passed and our hair is grey
skin wrinkled, sight weakened
we will complain about backpain and
tiredness
all the pills our doctors have prescribed
down a shot of arrack
-still the best medicine-
and look back at these saturnian days
