31 August 2006 - dear posterity

I’ve written and written. I’ve sent you letters, and faxes, and novels, and artworks, and great philosophical movements, and pet rocks. I have buried time capsules and carved stones for you. I have given you vast archives and the dazzling scientific theories of geniuses—and I have never heard a whisper of reply. I don’t think you’re even listening. Is a phone call too much to ask? Well, that’s enough! I’ve had it! From now on, all you’re getting from me is debt!
