Chapter 2 - touching times
Chapter 2 - touching times
I can hear voices from across the world
And in the future.
Two hours, five hours, half a day away.
It’s a magic trick I know—
Morning and evening, sunshine and rain,
Toffee and tea or coffee and chocolate—
Clicking buttons, standing on bridges,
Touching any corner of the globe
With lighting and binary and satellites.
I could play Lady of Shallot forever,
Stitch together what I see in a mirror darkly,
And still find this magic a delight.
But I’m leaving my tower, crossing the bridges,
Being more than code and love and hope
In electric bursts, someday.
And in the future.
Two hours, five hours, half a day away.
It’s a magic trick I know—
Morning and evening, sunshine and rain,
Toffee and tea or coffee and chocolate—
Clicking buttons, standing on bridges,
Touching any corner of the globe
With lighting and binary and satellites.
I could play Lady of Shallot forever,
Stitch together what I see in a mirror darkly,
And still find this magic a delight.
But I’m leaving my tower, crossing the bridges,
Being more than code and love and hope
In electric bursts, someday.
