Future of the Past


Lay the bricks of the home we were to share

And build yourself as the man you dreamed to be

And marry my ghost and bear with her

Another with your curls and my eyes


Cook your tofu sisig, and a pot of chili

Exactly the way you like it

Let the spice of it linger around the house

So that my ghost might taste all of you


And late at night, drive my ghost around town

To get chicken sandwiches and ice cream

While you have my ghost blind rank

Five different songs you put on stereo


And watch our shows and tell her all your facts

And don’t forget to bring up Troy Baker

Because he shows up in everything

And remind my ghost that Margaret Qualley- you know the rest


And should you, one day, wish my ghost to leave

To stop abiding by you like your ghost abides by me

Then perhaps we can find new beginnings and set them free

And let them too find each other over DnD.
