The Future Is Coming
-- by Ellen Fair - Copyright 1999 -- fairelle@gte.net

What a beautiful dawn!
Tomorrow the future is coming!
Inevitably the dawn drags on
in the light of the once-great neons
while hand-crafted gramophones
play 'Send in the Clowns.'
The day will suffice itself
like a tranquilizer
melting on the tongue
I lean out my soul's window
and try to remember
the past.
