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
the way the years go
