2082 |
| Draw the curtain, look, you’re only sleeping |
| Or is this only what the other you is dreaming? |
| Either way |
| Hard to take |
| Ashen features unmistakably your own |
| Familiar posture, recast in skin and bone |
| Person from today |
| Here is you in 2082 |
| Remove your helmet, first equalize the pressure |
| No, but first, take readings to be sure |
| The atmosphere is safe |
| Yes, it’s safe |
| As the ancient one cranes his neck to look |
| You see his hand’s been replaced with a hook |
| But it’s clear you’re very much alive |
| It’s 2105 |
| No, it’s 2240 |
| No, it’s 3415 |
| How can you still be living? |
| What does this mean? |
| You must honor and respect the older fellow |
| Even as you suffocate him with his pillow |
| Though you’re strong |
| He was wise |
| There is much you can learn from the sage |
| And though you’ll leave and travel back to your own age |
| You will meet again, you two |
| In 2082 |
| What was the look he gave intended to convey? |
| Was there something else he was trying to say? |
| It will all be revealed to you |
| In 2082 |
