“The future ain’t what it used to be.” —Yogi Berra

Seer’s eyes prognosticate
Reading signs of prophesy
Previewing what comes to be
As yesterday’s ills recede

There’s no present. There’s only the immediate future and the recent past.

―George Carlin

Eyes in space take in the past
Capturing the cosmic blast
Memories returning fast
As tomorrow comes to pass

The future is made of the same stuff as the present.

―Simone Weil

Light we view prophetically
In vision’s periphery
May this day already be
A sign of epiphany

What you seek is seeking you.

―Rumi

One may read ‘I told you so’
Writ on the wall by thunderbolt
As the punch line of a joke
Read the signs’ prophetic glow

If you do not change direction you may end up where you are heading.

―Lao-Tzu
