| Notes | This poem is based on a conversation between the speaker of the poem and someone from the future. The future character disavows human heritage due to the crimes of the world - including pollution and warmongering. The actions of George W. Bush are notably singled out here, likely in reference to the contemporary War on Terror. The future persona of the poem removes themselves from humanity in its entirety, claiming allegiance with the birds, swans, and falcons. The crimes of the present generation are such that the future humans of the world deny any connection with them. |
