I sent my future self a message, years ago
marking poets and poems in an anthology on my shelves
None of the Above, edited by Michael Lally in 1976
for future reading
Now I am receiving that message,
re-reading these poems I've marked
I am that future self, now, but really
a present one, here and now
The self that sent the message is a past one, now
though present at the time, or so I thought
