One less thing to worry about

I’ll say things, opinionated things.
Oh will I. And you’ll disagree, surely.
Winning the argument how? Well
I’m not that smart.

What you’ll say will trigger a cascade
of consideration
                                        of doubt
and I’ll ruminate
madly, then wind
down
      down
            down
until this mind settles
into the sad soft earth of biology.

I won’t say much after that.
It’s an easy win. You’ll want to take
a victory lap, surely.
And the thought of a walk sounds quite nice.
