I saw history happen over the weekend.

I saw the past
I saw it written by many authors,
recorded by many archivists.

I saw the present
I heard it spoken by many speakers,
sung by many singers,
performed by many poets.

I saw the future
I saw it behind many eyes,
I saw it between many words,
I saw it amongst many gestures,
I saw it within many hearts.

I saw the future unfold this weekend.
