Asimov Poems


BIG BROTHER

...BIG BROTHER

The science fiction of yesteryear
Is now here, or all coming true

...Stranger
I never really met him
But I know him
I know his face in profile
The furrows of his brow

   Robot companions and industry-wide takeovers

...How high can we fly?
     (After all, we must try!)
     Like the mythical Icarus
       Can we touch the sky?

     Yo, the answer is 'Yes.'
     We've already done THAT

Cold, sharp, hard against his throat.

Past Descendents of Future Ancestors

...Who was first to write of cultures we read,
With their trans-galactic real estate greed?
The Greeks were dreamers of heaven above
Where the gods and their men fought wars for love.

Through lanes so dark and still
When a sudden light lit up the way
And I found my body thrill.

The shadows on the walls were dark
My riot thoughts couldn...
