Close your eyes.
Now tell me what proof you have
of the current year,
of your present age,
of your present location.
Perhaps some sound
an appliance, perhaps,
will provide a clue.
Your body itself
might provide others
And you might ask,
where else would I be?
But by considering the alternatives:
How far back
we can push a plausible date.
How young we can set ourselves.
How varied our potential locale;
we unlock a little door
into our own reality.
