The Previous Forecasts Are the Current Needs

July 26, 2018

Dear Subscriber:

Each week we examine a theme from a variety of points of view. The theme for this week is fantasy and dream.

I welcome comments on my poems at https://nicholasgordon.blogspot.com .

A philosophical poem about the need for fantasy to shape the future:

The previous forecasts are the current needs.
The previous plans are now the policies.
The algorithms of our time and place
Can generate a blueprint of our fates –
Not precisely, but within a range
That in time the outcome will sustain.
Life is shaped by what it cannot be,
The brick and mortar of a fantasy.
