"From our location, some people say we can see the future, because we can see tomorrow, today. From tomorrow's perspective, they can look back at us and see yesterday. See if this poem helps you find us:

We live near a line,

that's within a strait,

yet the line, though famous,

is not really straight.

But even though crooked,

the line is still great,

because on one side you're in part of the old Union,

and on the other side in part of the States.

just 'what is the date',

we'll say 'talk to the line',

because it decides the date."
