Elegy 3

Burn down the past, an order,

And make a way for the newness

That is nothing and is

Wasteful

Critical of then,

Critical is

Now.

 

Tether yourself to the future with

Invisible strings of data and electricity.

Information the new

Confirmation

 

Do you remember

what we look like?

A face with skin is less real

Because of today

And tomorrow.

 

Quick, hurry along or you’ll miss the

Future.
