Description
When my grandmother was a child,the future spoke of cities in the sky,
metal men -- potential in every direction.
When my mother was a child,
the future spoke of towering cities,
vivid robots -- an infinity of possibility.
When I was a child,
the future changed her language, shifting
slowly as if we wouldn't notice the break
in her patterns.
Where once the next century showed bright promise,
now we are left with imaginings of death,
rubble and primitive chaos, blood in the streets
and our legacy in ruin.
But you expect me to have a five year plan?
