STRETCHING YOUR EYES

		Watching old sci-fi movies on TV,
		you stretch your eyes but never quite your mind—
		and find eyes quite sufficient.  You will be
		watching old sci-fi movies on TV
		when all their wonders are reality
		at last.  The future's there for you to find,
		watching old sci-fi movies on TV:
		you stretch your eyes, but never quite your mind.
