Once Upon A Time
Copyright 2023 by Michael Walker
(For all the old farts I know. You know who you are.)
Once-upon-a-time
Everyone else was older
And now
They are younger…
I marvel
At certain things
Some Internet blogger
Writing about
The Moon landing
As if everyone who marveled
At that marvel
Now we're dead…
Or some teenagers on You Tube
Mulling over the mechanics
Of a rotary phone
As if it had just been dropped
From some mother ship…
The days go by
In a similar fashion
One after the other
Until
There is a sudden
Sea change
And the Land you once loved
Becomes devoured…
