The past stands patiently behind our backs
Invisible at times, or just unseen
Obscured by haste and waste and quantum facts
Upstaged by beeper, phone and fax machine

Upstaged by beeper, phone and fax machine
Today’s communication leaves no tracks
We hold hands with a plastic go-between
The past stands patiently behind our backs

(Photograph taken in front of oldest Cathedral in
Florence, Italy, circa 4th or 5th century)
