BACK FROM THE FUTURE

by Alkas Poetry

                 When the space traveler returned,
                it was already another generation
               Almost everything
               that he had known before had disappeared...
               The house where he lived had a different architecture,
               the family to which he belonged, all dead...
               A century had passed... things he loved,
                they weren't there anymore... 
                not even the girlfriend with whom
                had made a pact was waiting for him...
                She was one of the things
                that he liked best... the other that could have been
                unfaithful, no...!
                The pet bottle of Coca Cola, there it was... intact
                with the yellow cap... faithfully waiting
                just be for another exchange... !
