In the Hours of Dark

Sights and sounds I hear and see Devices in hands fit so comfortably Wires from ears connect to the one They sit talking to themselves like they are with someone? Vehicular movement with no live bearers. So many different types; the mind boggles! Moving signs illuminate these pavements of stone Big flying objects make lots of noise They just ignore them; they don't act surprised? Moving pictures of such clarity behind huge windows of glass Underground walkways filled with people and shops They don't seem to notice and are not as polite Acknowledge their eye sight and there is an element of fright That's what I saw, that's what happens right here In two hundred years the world is different out there Your machine worked well getting me there I don't want to go back to those lands as I saw the future and it's reality so stark. I'll remember the experience as a dream in the hours of dark.
