No Questions Asked

But we are tight and temporal and none too bright
When it comes to matters of our other selves.
The dusty archeaologist digs up the past
So we may better understand that which we were
To know ourselves now.
While super-nova scientist forges into the future
Searchlight blazing past today to glean a veiw
Of who we may be.
Now consider the plodding and trodding of the dull and dim;
The low in yellow coats posting signs on poles.
Today a lost-pet poster with a fuzzy photo,
A room for rent, separate bath, no a/c.
Snowmobile for sale: cheap.
Wanted: used guns, unwanted ammo.
Not real signs, ones valid.
Simply obtuse forms of communication.
A Cadillac drawing no attention, no questions asked.
