They built a machine
That only goes to the past
They warned that there is no way to come back
In spite of this
They continued receiving bids
From people still longing for a time from when they were kids
The person it sold to went through rigorous training
The day of she climbed into the cockpit
They asked her over the speaker
"Are you sure about this?"
"You can go to the past, but no one will be there."
This time on earth remains linear.

Tell me about it if it’s something human.
Let me into your grief. - Robert Frost
