It's just after two
in the afternoon
Along lines and
shapes that resemble a
cup of coffee gone
cold in the weathered
morning before sunrise
The metaphor of time
referencing an earlier
Epoch in the future
Remembered in the sounds
of your carbon footprint
The stains on glasslike
windows and frames that
hold pictures from
another century
And as we age grow old
Walk the same path endless
in the night of dreaming
Visit the same haunt and
Hotel by the sea Or cottage
in the forest
we design the
beginning as a forecast of
Fortune and favorite stories
We tell by firelight and Paleo
stones
in the afternoon
Along lines and
shapes that resemble a
cup of coffee gone
cold in the weathered
morning before sunrise
The metaphor of time
referencing an earlier
Epoch in the future
Remembered in the sounds
of your carbon footprint
The stains on glasslike
windows and frames that
hold pictures from
another century
And as we age grow old
Walk the same path endless
in the night of dreaming
Visit the same haunt and
Hotel by the sea Or cottage
in the forest
we design the
beginning as a forecast of
Fortune and favorite stories
We tell by firelight and Paleo
