Future Shock

Yesterday, Today and Tomorrow

Future Shock

Uncanny how
Past often
More vivid than
Present
Decades ago
Incidents in
Vivid detail
The look of a room
What people said
Mood of the moment
Epic events
Etched in memory
Evidence of life
Sifted through
Ordering legacy
While yesterday
Or an hour ago
But a blur
Books read
Too soon forgotten
Titles and authors
Washing about
Waves of insights
Crashing on rocks
Surfin' Safari
Jumble of vignettes
Tossed and tumbled
Put through ringer
Bleached by scorching
Sun of Catholic
Guilt so easily
Confessed then
Forgotten only
To sin again
Mobius stripped
Space shuttle
Warp speed
Ultimate voyage
Beyond horizon
