Time travel.

...


Ten years ago, I will be
And in a few years ahead, I was
(Fill in the blanks.)
If only time was
just a bamboo basket
full of blood oranges
or even just a pale green washcloth
No big deal
No crying over cartoon characters
The only past
and future tenses
that exist
are present simple
and present continuous
No big deal
No crying over cartoon characters

See this red button
with the word un-death written on it?
Of course you don't.
