Haven't you heard?
Starting tomorrow everything is going to be just fine.
They just announced it
blaring over the speakers
the radio
the telly.
A languid female voice - the jagged automaton - rang out
loud and clear
eliminating chance for error.

Did you hear?
The computer says we
don't have to worry anymore.

Did you hear?
Did you hear? The robot
thinks our worry
is all very silly.
