I live
in the anthropocene
where nature’s algorithm
will be modified by AI
all time will be reassessed
to meet The Long Now
beating of hearts will reset
to ten seconds each
our lives prolonged
while computers debate
our future memories
and time will stand still
of course, all wars end
like this one now
because today I set
my clock ahead
