Flares for a future now

Hey you!
Yes, you – you down the line…
Don’t pretend you’re just reading this
We understand… you’re shy…. it’s alright.
We only had this archaic language
And but this archaic media
To tell you
That it is safe to come.
That some of us are ready to receive
A visit from the monster we became.
No, don’t feel offended…
We’re just using contemporary criteria
To judge your physical kind.
We understand that unwise interference
With the fabric of time
May alter your future,
And the fate of our race.
Yet think of it as a circular perpetual renewal
Of a link between past and future.
But do show up,
Do show up,
Up the line
Thin
Time.
