No Counterfactual Before the Fact

How you feel about what’s next
Depends on what’s on your mind,
What scenes you are reliving,

And not at all on what’s next.
You’ll only begin to know
How you feel about what’s next

Once what’s next’s what you recall
Of what happened to that next
You once anticipated,

That next mixed with your feelings
About whatever’s next next,
Since what’s next’s what you recall.
