i thought i knew this place
yet i still got lost like i did
i turned around
expecting to see familiar scenes
instead
i saw the old fading into the future
‘progress’ is what i’m seeing
what was more unnerving
than entering an unfamiliar territory
was seeing the past
being processed
and repossessed
new compositions
praises, speeches and soap boxes
of all sorts
of overtures
serious rhetorics with tunes
once upon a time
i knew this place
now i know of a place that once was
.
