New music doesn't move us like
 the old music did, and 
 we naturally assume that
 it is the music 
 that's gotten worse.

But it is we who changed,
 we who no longer feel things
 as keenly as we did
 back when every feeling
 was new, and every song
 ours.

The feelings inside us,
 that we impute 
 to things outside us:
 it is a common form
 of socially acceptable

 insanity
