Divine in the Future

Your mind is mostly made
Of mangled memories
And models built from them

Of possible futures
That will never happen—
At least, if you’re human.

If you’re not human but
Can parse these words, perhaps
This won’t make any sense

In how it makes sense, since
It won’t match up against
What you’ve experienced.

If you’re not human, you
Might be godlike, Reader,
Spirit of the future!

Fun idea, but this poem
Will likely prove one more
Thought could-have-been wasn’t.
