Nobody knows what they are doing

“Nobody really knows what they are doing” – Conan O`Brien
to James Lipton explaining the advice he gives to new interns on producing his show
.

.

Nobody really knows…what they are doing
Stitch the winter Quilt
pastiche hide and thread
The summer fades intentions
Will carpet our hut’s hard ground.

Nobody really knows what they are doing
the Beast of prey runs
from the hungry hunters steps
quicker step, quicker wit, better luck
decides who survives the night.
,
Everyone today says they know what they’re doing
congratulate ourselves
for the high rise cities we draft and build.
When the Earth shakes and levies break
We drowned in our cities
and suffocate under the weight…
… of beastly uncertainty.
