In 3022,<\/p>\n
we shall not have floating cars<\/p>\n
the physics of such a thing<\/p>\n
preposterous!<\/p>\n
<\/p>\n
No hoverboards or floating trains<\/p>\n
only movies can still conjure<\/p>\n
because necessity trumps avarice<\/p>\n
when basic staples cost more.<\/p>\n
<\/p>\n
No teleportation or flue powder<\/p>\n
same ol\u2019 car, plane, train or buses<\/p>\n
only virtually still you can<\/p>\n
meet friends in other countries.<\/p>\n
<\/p>\n
Time machines and portals all<\/p>\n
just junk under future\u2019s pall<\/p>\n
casting shadows like monsters<\/p>\n
maybe the aliens we conjured?<\/p>\n
<\/p>\n
But cryogenics, rejuvenation, i do hope<\/p>\n
become a future thing<\/p>\n
because I\u2019d like to jump some rope<\/p>\n
a 154-year-old child, full swing.<\/p>\n
