Free Love's Preterition

Free Love’s Preterition We will never speak of it again. It was long ago - a longing - lost amid the tie-dyed past, buried in the endless babbling of a future. We will never look again. Yellowed Kodak lies staring back, looking into that future. We will never listen to the emptiness of unspoken dreams again. 4/4/2016

and a well done to you, John. Loved the 'yellowed Kodak lies' line. You're a very fine poet...too often underrated by others.
