An Explanation

Jul 04, 2004 23:53

A lot of people have asked me about the details of the exchange programme which has brought me to the 21st century.

As I'm told, somehow some bureaucrat accidently assigned the same source of funds to a cultural program to enrich the minds of youth with famous poets and a physics program dealing with time travel. The physcists and literati had to decide on a project they could both agree on, so they decided to bring famous poets to the future. I was evidently the only one crazy enough to agree to this. However, I had the fortune of an angel giving me a vision that the strangers spoke true. So I came to this Dead Land.

I've been taught modern English and much else since I came, but mostly I'm depressed. I convinced the Yanks to let me go home to London again, but I just get robbed by punk kids or made fun of for the way I dress, or because I talk to Ezekiel. Really, the place has gotten even worse. Dark Satanic Mills? I had never seen an automobile. Give me the mills!

Anyhow, I hope this clears some things up.
