Future

Water bears are cute and useful

Future


Ten million years from now when we become mature

When Earth rotates much slower around a faded sun

Turned orange with flares of yellow visible to the eye

People will find true love in their metallic selves

Seven fingers will emerge to manage many tasks

To hold the hands of alien partners from the stars


From the past the moon will have moved on by then

An oval shape in orbit forever traveling with indifference

Beyond our reach and touch in favor of the elliptic distance

Elegant on the horizon, elongated on the dawn 


Brains will grow larger over time to think

To form into blue crystal fluid usage machines


Five million years farther in the future to the second

On a Saturday evening in late September at 8:00 pm

Tardigrades will merge with human metallic beings

Deep inside the womb where symbioses matters happen


Evolution allows mankind to orbit about themselves

In the vast design to form a more perfect mechanism

Encrypted for their desired use into the future


An unforgiving sun burns on at the core

Looks down on us no more or less than human

In nature all things take their course

In five million years or more



Note:  Tardigrades are small, really tiny, actually micro animals with segmented bodies. They are usually water-dwelling creatures but can be found in a myriad of places like Antarctic ice, deep in ocean beds to a depth of 14,000 ft, high up in Himalayas at a height of 20,000 ft, tree barks, moss and more! Virtually indestructible, capable of surviving a direct nuclear bomb blast.
