I found a note today
Drafted by Future Me
On a virtual cloud of 2053,
Gnarled knuckles and knees
Buckled by
Life's raging storms
like leafless trees
In a hurricane;

Cranium overran
By plaque invaders;

Multiple meds stacked
On  a lonely nightstand
By my single bed
At the senior center;

As bb king sang the blues
And the thrill vanished with the wind
Into an abyss of oblivion;

Everyone will be a stranger then,
It read;
Including snapshots of you...
And us...
And the life we shared...
Saving for the rainy day;

Not this terminal tsunami...
This atrophy of love
And life...

When a man looks
At the tearing face
Of his faithful wife...

And sees a stranger!
