The Age of Enlightenment

 





On a quiet stroll

down a leaf-dark lane,

I met a young man

from the past.

He was drifting

toward tomorrow,

unready for the glare 

that was waiting in ambush,

and by the harsh light,

of another day,

he would see

that his letters 

to the North Pole

would never be answered.
