The future
a luxury
denied to some who
must live in the present
of degradation, hunger,
thirst, death, war, pestilence
The future
a ribbon given
slipping lightly through
fingers delighting in
the superficial texture
deciding only on hues
mindless of the reeling spool
The future
sancrosanct and serious
leadening each present
footstep with the echo
of impact yet to come
The future
bold, joyous, sparkling
with possibility
unknown but all positive
as mindless and far a given
as the horizon over the sea
The future
a present wrapped in the
ribbon of luxury, the sentience
of deprivation, the entitlement,
the seriousness, mindlessness
all
lightly tied with the singular
loose bow of the absolutely
uknowable
coming
