Variations on a conversation

Let's sit outside tonight because it's going to snow
on Tuesday
Let's sit inside tonight because it's going to flood
on Tuesday
Let's go give blood tonight because we'll be anemic
Tuesday
Let's go drive tractors now, let's practice archery,
because we're going blind
on Tuesday
In fact, let's go play golf across enormous distances, because
the world
is going to end
on Tuesday.

Let's just sit still tonight because we'll have to walk
on Tuesday
Let's just be us tonight because there'll be a crowd
on Tuesday
Let's squeeze each other tight
and make it all all right
and stare into the light
and let's not have a fight
please let's not have a fight
because we'll have to say good-bye
on Tuesday.
