\nOliver Nisbet, born Seattle, 31.8.2010<\/em><\/p>\n
\nSkype images. Tracing you, I wonder
\nat your crinkled lineaments unfolding.
\nBorn an American, you\u2019ll maybe hear
\none day that, when I was two months
\nold, we had a world at war.
\nNow I am in the lee of a bluff
\nseniority, and a shaft of love and
\nrecognition races like a charge of
\nadrenalin from history\u2019s hideout
\nto your infancy and innocence in
\nSeattle\u2019s bright fall. You just
\ngo along nice and steady, grandson.
\nWe are the future, you and I.<\/p>\n
