Emigration

“The past is a foreign country; they do things differently there.”
~ L.P. Hartley, The Go-Between
 
Emigration 

The future is coming and knocking.
The past is coming and tocking.
The present is going and going.
I feel displaced in time,
In my thoughts,
In my dreams,
In my country.
Time-travelling is
A mind game,
Not a matter phenomenon.
The coming future requires
Imagination.
The past past requires
Inspection.
The present,
Well, the present is
All about
Emigration.
I would go-between
The time senses
To a tense
In the 4th dimension.
I would emigrate
To a foreign time
Where I am different,
Alien. Anew.
Where I am myself
In another’s shoe.
To live another’s life,
To leave my world and
Be another.
Well, how do I time-
Travel in someone?
