Ghazal Aquarius
I’m nobody! But strangely
I quiver with the future
A spark lets fire fly in me
I cannot know it the way I do
It lives in me, as others
Follow custom of tradition
They own it, they prophesize doctrine
I’m nobody! Not even a rebel
But the future is drearily awake
In me, like a momentum punch
Of light and change, decades
Fast forward in my brain
Until we are, a new kind of we
And I am embraced by technology
The pain of being separated
From that telepathy and empathy
It’s not something I can endure
For too many years, living like this
In the past, where people are
So separate as make-believe individuals.
Almost surreal and yet the presence is just there – I can feel myself in the poem – I am embracing it. But without the technology! 🙂
