Listen to poem:

The Future of a Pixilated Past

The Future of a Pixilated Past
David J Walker

I see you in every page
Of the archived newspaper 
That survived to tell our stories again
When the day and date is alive 

and I look forward to
Greeting you revived 
at a different stage of
The kaleidoscope ride that
Stops only when its time to get off

I see me in every page 
Of the archived paper 

Shake the page and the 
Words create a 
snow globe picture 

Of me at a younger age
empty and hungry 
for the future

Where we shall live forever 
in a printed past captured 
in pixilated pictures
