I met my older self descending
on the blackwood stairs -
slower, leaner, forward bending,
very many gray hairs.
He said, perhaps you weren't intending
to hear of what estranges
generation from generation, sending
old wolves to their lairs -
it's the unnecessary changes
that catch you unawares.
It's not the big tectonic shifts,
that change the field of tech -
but non-geeks bearing Tiktok gifts,
the fluff and what-the-heck-
I don't know how this lever lifts,
I can't see why it's trending -
this song is dumb, that actor’s shit -
do they not cash travellers’ cheques?!
Though Hitchen's gone, his spirit ranges
and dream to dream declares -
it's the unnecessary changes
that catch you unawares.
