Harkening

We often harken back, 

to the glorious days of the past;

wishing.

Wishing to be at the Parisian salon,

of the Enlightenment,

or the Royal Society,

filled with the torchbearers

of modern science.

We often harken back,

to the glorious days of the past;

wishing.

Wishing to chat with Da Vinci,

discuss the world with Descartes,

and stargaze with Galileo.

We often harken back,

to the glorious days of the past;

wishing.

We do it so often

it makes we wonder:

did Newton ever wish?

Wish to have a chat

with ol' Euclid,

real fast?
