The Future



arrives earlier every day
so I try to stay young by using a good moisturizer
gravitons can really do a number on your skin

I can’t identify what’s changed
everyone keeps making it new
eternity is boring that way

if I could exceed light speed I could go back and evolve
into something not recognizable as me
I’d still be here for you but different

I mentioned you in my Captain’s Log yesterday
or maybe I didn’t
circling this black hole everything gets erased
