Toynbee

I got the idea for this poem, from a book of Ohio legends, and folklore.

What's the idea behind the Toynbee tiles

 

Is it part of the government files?

 

Resurrect the dead on Jupiter

 

I'm intrigued; yet is sounds

 

stupid though

 

I'm only one man with

 

a terminal disease

 

When I die, will you be

 

at ease

 

These documents are precious

 

Please don't destroy them

 

You cannot find me

 

I might be dead

 

I secured my house and

 

this country I fled
