it's a friday night in early 2012

unless all our technology goes to smash

and takes all our knowledge

and all our history with it

or unless someone takes the precaution

of a print-out and has it stashed

preserved in some lined pit somewhere

while the rest of the world falls in on it

I can hope that on some

far distant friday night centuries hence

someone will know what I'm saying
