i am 46
last night i saw a friend my age
on television
with a brand new face

i am never sure how to react
i email others asking
did u see her - she's different
right ?

sanity testing
something has changed
it is evident
what's real

i walked the city alone
in the gray rain 2 day
now in my apartment
the walls shake from work outside

the balconies r not safe
the building is new
the noise deafening and constant
fixing things is never easy

peace in
peace out
