Everyone thinks I’m not patriotic.
But I am a patriot. I’m an outright xenophobe,
a minuteman.
The problem is I come from
the future. The future is my country.
And the depraved mongrel present keeps climbing
over the walls. To design is
to protect what does not yet exist.
Something has to get displaced,
so the future is leaking, slowly leaking my novels.
Since I’m already in the future,
it’s the way things are becoming
that are the aliens, to me.
