The Sixties, with Apologies: poem by Charles Bernstein, The Wolf 28

The Sixties, with Apologies is a poem by Charles Bernstein, printed in issue 28 of The Wolf. Another site cited it as a poem from Recalculating.

The speaker remembers the future and says it was much like the past. The poem mentions rowing on a lake, Jesus, town criers and motion sensors, 12-year-old bourbon and lobster, and George Bush. It ends with the statement that night is never dark enough because everything the speaker sees is frightening.
