   “Lullabye for the Second Millennium” by J. Allyn Rosser

   From the point of view of all time,
   these recent changes signal
   more a return to nature
   than a departure, than degradation.
   In the beginning, after all,
   there was boiling rock.
   Then waters arranging their bodies
   around an era of softer forms:
   lichen, grassland, swaying treetops.
   Then creatures, movingly fleshed,
   treading pathways that hardened.
   Then pavement hardening
   and cities, monumental.
   Soon mostly rock again,
   and radiant. More and more like moon.
   Soon, sooner than is being thought,
   there will be even more light.
   The creatures will have stopped
   being able to move
   or be moved.
   And the rock will boil.

   Now I like it {:~)
