My girlfriend is the future

And I’m the past

I grew up in the middle of the country

Where work is still the way

So I studied hard

And got into a good school

Only to move to a city

To find out

That the work is all done

And the men who hunted

And swung hammers

Are no longer needed

It’s a woman’s world now

It’s a world of slowing down

And healing

And feeling good

All the things

My girlfriend is good at
