THE TIME MACHINE BRIEFED REVISITED

beware the one who can extrapolate


this one does not rely on vision

or idle speculation


this one simply knows reality

and can project our basic reality


to its likely end

like the last gloom-drenched pages


of The Time Machine

when Wells's time traveler


sees gigantic organisms lumbering

in a fatal darkness


while our sun is at last

a dying red dwarf


about to exhume the long experiment of Earth
