I see them
shadows of the past
dark movements of futures
images without substance
lights without a source
imaginings without imagination
dreams without sleep

My mind knows but questions
Did I really see that?
I can ignore them without worry
but can I ?

Are these mirages
mirrors into the past
or reflections of the future
both and neither

When I was a boy
I heard voices
many many voices
I was a radio receiver
tuned to all frequencies
I was afraid
