How to Confuse Strangers (A "Poem")

[I]

Approach someone random,
Act panicked (not insane), say
“Excuse me!” – catch your breath,
“But what year is it?”

[II]

Jubilation or horror
Are two options;
Either way, the stranger's
Response must shock you.

[III]

Stare in awe at the sky
As you run away.
Make sure to jump back
At the first car you see.
