2020



We see what we imagine.
20/20 is a measure of good eyesight.
2020 is a year in the seeming far future.
Suppose I am alive and well in that year.

That’s possible.
Where will I be living?
What will I be doing with my days?
I imagine I am happy enjoying a good life.

Will you also be alive and well
And with me? I hope so.
You are happy to be with me now
As am I with you.

We discover new places and creatures.
We learn about new discoveries in science.
We volunteer to help others.
Doing this together will never get old.

Doing this alone would be a heartbreak.
That’s not what I imagine in my daydream.
But we who have known great losses know
To enjoy now for the time being today.
