1216 - Tomorrow has come after all

I’m getting used to the year 2010
It’s like I’ve been sent into the future
It always does at New Year, true, but then
It just feels more futuristic out here
I keep expecting to see robots peer
From behind the TV or the sofa
I keep expecting to open a drawer
And pull out a replacement nose or ear
Or plug my head in, increase my brain power
Transport myself for an hour to Athens
Swallow a pill; won’t need to eat all year
And I’m not even in the old solar
System any more; can’t afford the rent
Some things will never change, at least that’s clear
