Wizard

don't be fooled by the grey beard, 
I'm the science fiction you speak of, 
the little wizard bloke in the picture
whose antics between gravestones
and christening robes jerk like those
flicker book pages we made as kids, 
and now, old again, today is payback

Woah, this is once again a very deep poem, I am absolutely spellbound by the way you add layers of mysterious elements to your words, making it almost whimsical, whilst combining emotions too.. This one has a nostalgic yet powerful feel to it! "I'm the science fiction you speak of", "whose antics between gravestones" These lines really hit the soul and compel one to dive deep in the thoughts of what they convey.. That ending is so profound too, absolutely brilliant, I loved reading this, a fave.
