i forgot to register to vote one year,

and then just kept forgetting,

to the point where i got to my mid-thirties without

ever voting for a single politician,

and at this point i’m too embarrassed to reverse course,

so i guess i’ll continue to be apolitical for the rest of my life,

or until i figure out how to register retroactively

with time travel

I’ve had the same food stuck in my teeth for the past ten years,

filled with enough preservatives to outlast the dinosaurs second go of things,

hopefully this time without the whole asteroid thing,

maybe they’ll even discover time travel,

so they can go back and find their ancestors

and maybe make some sense of this
