David Walker Poet Rhyme

Listen to poem:

Weight of a Distant Future

Weight of a Distant Future
David J Walker

So what 
He thought 
	And he was right

To question 
	The perfect 
Sound of the songbird 
	Singing his name

Coincidence
	Is all

	It’s the same 
as when
The penny scare 
	Has correctly stated your weight
And guessed at your fate
Without your name

And only you may remember 
	In a distant future

Appalled 

So what
	He thought 
Though he was 
Already white 
As a ghost 

Most of the time
The host 

	Singing the song
Gets it all wrong
You know

Although 
It remembers 
your name
