We rose high above the meadow and then drifted over the forest Black and green
with the rare shining yellow jewels that were the streetlamps
I must ♥
the man continued ♥
be the father Of this baby that’s not a baby
It is some sort of a future To come or something I can’t know
Because I’m dead I don’t know anything now
But I know it’s the future because I see the nuclear destruction ♥
the rubble all around us I see the streets & houses crumbling
I see the pylons and towers the petrol stations smashed the trains smashed into mangled red lines
I see the empty cities
The cities that died In their hundreds of millions
Or billions
Or trillions Or more ♥ I don’t know,
I can’t know but it’s all gone been swept away
All the teeth & noses & eyes & lips
But you are not dead I know that
You are not even born
You are going to grow up in the 21st Century on a remote Pacific island ♥
where you are going to be delightful to everyone around you
Everyone who’s around you is going to like you or maybe even love you
Because of your smile So big and charming
So delightful
That it will break their hearts
You’ll never know me ♥
the baby you are ♥
will never know the baby I was
In any way At all
Or have any kind of Connection to Me at all Except that we have the same smile
The smile that Every single person ♥
Who sees you will like ♥
Or maybe love ♥
