No, not afraid of a future that secures the past
in a far safer place - and no, not afraid of what
seem to be changes; that remaining insecurity
is in thoughts of who’ll be confused - or rather
who’ll be unable to view the harmony of same
it is a scene we’ve been thru’ - there were few
years it wasn't deemed ordinary when random
happenings piled up to look so commonplace,
a very bespoke view and in a sense the same
scene we’re experiencing, if we’ve a care to
so we’ll move between icons of whom we are -
there won’t be changes like non-recognition or
new identities - underneath these events is an
untarnished continuity that bemuses only they
who see permanence as datum-time-stamped
but that was not to be in ‘tacit’ rearrangement;
unity measured in dispossessed personalities
no longer aligned to each-other’s druthers are
freed to fly away - thus a synchronicity of year
on year’s intent plays events from its memory
so we move sideways in time gathering more
of a less pedantic momentum, sliding into the
cleft of congruent contemporaneity, settle into
a quiet new space the exact like of that which
we probably never needed to leave …
