(the) History Teacher
Now, often struggling
to explain, understand...how
our past could still be of use -
aid our future - our now
nebulous futures of possibilities:
new biologies
waxing wanting new creations -
new engines
carrying us far ... on and from
our earth, our home -
births of futures even astrology
can’t predict, hasn’t known
yet -
new deaths, last breathes
postponed prolonged protected -
no connection to any creations born before
yet connected still - by - the history
of our dreams
our weaknesses our strengths
distilled into divine inspirations
only the historian can pour
can teach.

History Teacher
Now often struggling to explain
how an understanding of our past
can still aid the future - our now
nebulous futures of possibilities.
A new biology wanting to create
a new creationism. New extensions
of limb and life. New engines
carrying us far from home here on
earth. With eventual births where
even astrology would not be of help.
New deaths with our last breath
postponed, prolonged, protected.
No connection to any creature
living who has ever lived our new
present coming into being. But, a
connection still. To everyone around
us. And what we’ve brought into
this new day with us - the history
of our thoughts and dreams. The
history of our weaknesses and strengths.
A history the history teacher can
help us understand and use.

Special notes:
The text presented in the photo example below is how we print, a more cursive pretty font that won't reprint well here.
Also, we adjust the font size of the title, copyright, personalization, to fit both the writing itself, and the constraints of the mat opening (window) of the 8x10's we use.
