traveling lightly

Post by saw »

memories spin
measured pinwheels
cycle in and out of decades
these days the deja
with the vu-vu-voom

I see the reruns
the actors and actresses
have been cleverly replaced
with aliens intent
on teaching lessons lost

turning a mish mash life
into a fabulous fable, turning
an old man into
a humble student that carries all
his belongings strapped to his back
the death of empathy is the birth of barbarism

Saw, I dig this. How we create yarns about the good old days and lost love. The last line was priceless.
