The mirror
The mirror We honor so few generations of ancestors before us that it limits our imagination of the ones coming after us how distant the echoes we hear limits how long ours are heard :- Doug.

bend its own arc
I refuse to accept that humanicity is this way, always has been, will never differ. I reject that thinking. Humanicity always has the capacity to change, to grow, to bend its own arc. :- Doug.

Can we? I choose
I don’t know that we can or cannot converse over centuries. I choose. I try. :- Doug.

speculation or bending
Call it A Speculation of Grandchildren, or, Bending the Arc of Humanicity. :- Doug.
Liking ambiguous
The last is also ambiguous, and I like that. Who is speculating, about what? Do the grandchildren speculate about us? :- Doug.
Elusive generations
That seems to be in the nature of an exploration, something even less defined and more ethereal, perhaps sidereal. Wander, wend, sift, circumambulate, track. Follow the evidence of elusive generations. :- Doug.
Speculation of grandchildren
A speculation of grandchildren :- Doug.

You are encouraged To read widely And not only out of books Then to write And not only :- Doug.
Youth puts out to sea
Youth puts out to sea to make Age returns with his catch a skeleton Creation and forgetting Two parts, a singular mystery Human :- Doug.
One per sentence
Say one thing per sentence. Here, strength. :- Doug.
It could be worse
It could be worse Then I made this verse :- Doug.
