turn inside out and find yourself? 
it doesn't work it never has -- 
the thread that makes each you a you 
connects what was and isn't yet -- 

but i think we can't clearly see 
the future anymore the past; 
because the present doesn't yield 
the light within, but more the shadow 
cast by hope and expectation: 
we build the world we know as much 
as it happens to us 

memories like buildings become abandoned 
not from lack of strength but 
lack of visitors
