Not the same . . .

 


Nothing and Everything
Nothing
is what it seems anymore.
 
The world is slipperier
these days.
 
More unstable.
Less solid.
 
Predictions feel pointless.
Plans seem silly.
 
Everything
is different now.
 
We are not
the same.
 
Taking a single step forward
is an act of courage.
 
Showing our faces.
Standing in a crowd.
 
Simultaneously suspect
and delicious.
 
Now the sun is rising,
I can see.
 
I am different.
I am not the same.
