The Greatest Year With science fiction, Gernsback made it clear A movement’s underway. Who can tell When science fiction met its greatest year? Amazing Stories stirred inventive seers To openly wonder about our future selves. With science fiction, Gernsback made it clear We’ve just begun. Who then would bring us nearer? Though many honored authors thought they’d jelled When science fiction met its greatest year, The process never ends. We won’t soon hear An answer. Final judgments fail to sell. With science fiction, Gernsback made it clear This question, like the wave a surfer dearly Pursues eternally through bliss and hell, When science fiction met its greatest year, Continually inspires the dreams and fears Addressed by fandom and the art itself. With science fiction, Gernsback made it clear When science fiction met its greatest year. -- Chuck Serface 35
