the best trick of them all is optimism
the regular set-up of things getting better
like clockwork, kicks in on the hour
the punchline, every thing always is worse
classic, gets me every time
pessimism is the worst trick
pessimism is all premise, no punchline
it doesn't work if it all just keeps
getting worse
(just to clarify, I am NOT sad rn)
