A little tinnitus, <br />A little deja vu, <br />A little savoir faire, <br />To see the matter through. <br /> <br />The neighborhood psychic <br />With a cardboard sign, <br />Will hear your every problem; <br />Every answer, divine. <br /> <br />The scrying mirror can see <br />Much farther than the ball, <br />But the eyes speak the most; <br />Transfixing, with their thrall. <br /> <br />See the past and future, <br />The sign broadly proclaims; <br />But more common eyes can see <br />The wide truth that you frame; <br /> <br />The twitch of neurosis, <br />The callous of care- <br />A witch isn't needed, <br />To notice what's there. <br /> <br />Save your dimes and dollars <br />And look in your own mirror, <br />If you need an answer <br />Or something made clear. <br /> <br />You're your own best psychic <br />And the cost is free: <br />What's coming in the future's <br />What's here right now, in me.<br /><br />Patti Masterman<br /><br />http://www.poemhunter.com/poem/the-future-is-right-here/
