Future Time Seals Bypassed Poem by Terence George Craddock

Future Time Seals Bypassed

my grandmother called me Old Top
when I was a few years old she claimed
I was an old soul who had walked

this world many times
sometimes she stopped
looked deep into my face

soul seconds paused
looking past present at
Old Top toddler present

that grandmother Alice
did several strange things
including having conversations

with people asleep sometimes
told people a few future facts
in their still too be lived futures

often implausible
yet never wrong;
future time seals
