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 |
