   Yes, you did. Which is why I mentioned the publication date. My copy of   
   City in Time was 2014.   
   I recommend it to you. It is about a detective investigating his own   
   murder in the future where alternate time lines are policed by time   
   wardens. There are poems which are different because written in   
   different time lines which is similar to your book reading references.
