There will come a day
foresee the futurists
you will be able
to excavate
a saturation remanence of a
probabilistically made up history
you will be able
to unearth
the generated steps
on a Moon landing film set
you will be able
to dust off
The flat Earth from bloated dreams
and pigeons and turtles with girth
you will be able
to identify
those who claim no expertise
yet by doing so get away with accolades
you will be able
to say you were enabled
There will come a day
we will claim you had agency
you will be able
to deny that
and as for this life beautiful
you smile, truce, and let us play truth
to the empowered.
