Museum

Welcome dear visitor -
the first to our museum
in the dozen centuries
since humans disappeared;
An archive of futility;
Miles of hard corridor
bustling with projected people
bound in loops of light forevermore -
Distant memories.
Scared young soldiers wielding guns;
Shoppers idly flicking through clothes;
Gently spinning astronauts;
A classroom deep in thought;
Throngs of cheering football fans;
A doctor crying alone;
Riot police beating climate protestors;
Babies being born.
Distant memories...
