Wish
I wish I could have
seen Theodore Roosevelt
Eugene Debs, Calvin Coolidge
speak their minds
I wish I could travel back
in time to see Daniel Webster,
meet Lewis and Clark
I wish time was malleable
And that we could travel through it
to see J.R.T. Tolkien, the Lubavither Rebbe,
Martin Luther King
But you and i are trapped
in 2013
Let's try to make the best of it
Since so far as we know
The clcock moves in one direction
"The moving finger writes - and having writ - moves on"
