Time Traveller from Misadventures by The Melting Ice Caps

i'm smuggled out of view on a friday night
inserted en plein air all in plain old sight

dark looks from a flickering time traveller
like Pathe News revealing

a long and pockmarked road
a dry hand's careful hold
a shadow from the headlight
playing on the hedgerow
of another winter

i'm only here to write it all down for you
in a notebook narrow ruled; i'm unbound

how easily the evidence gets found
a mobile phone signal followed down

a long and pockmarked road
a dry hand's careful hold
a shadow from the headlight
playing on the hedgerow
of another winter

and will a future reader
wonder why we never stopped this?

dearest future reader
earnest future listener
understand that i relied on you to follow me down

a long and pockmarked road
a dry hand's careful hold
a shadow from the headlight
playing on the hedgerow
of another winter
