| I worry about bombs on the tube, I worry that I’ll sleep and never wake up, I worry about the seats on buses and what sort of dirty diseased person sat on them before me, I worry about dogs in the park biting me for no reason as I walk past, I worry about strange women accusing me of sexual harassment when there is none, I worry that the electricity will go off in the middle of the night when I’m in a desperate need for a ****, I worry about medicines being out of date, coffee causing me cancer, burgers not being well cooked, my wife leaving me, planes falling on the road as I’m crossing the street, earthquakes taking place while I’m on the 44th floor of a big building, fire crews going on strike on the day I get caught up in a big fire, school kids throwing paper at me in a busy street, old people calling me rude for looking at them the wrong way, being told I was adopted, going to prison when I’m innocent, getting caught in the middle of a fight while I’m passing by, being put on the spot, having to bail out a friend and not having the chance to bail out another, missing a loved one’s funeral, talking too much and boring the hell out of everyone, talking too little and being ignored, losing my voice, whispering when I need to shout and shouting when I need to whisper, oversleeping and missing something important, not knowing if something is important, worrying when there is nothing to worry about. In fact, sometimes, sometimes I’m worried that I worry too much, man. |
