to feel like new

this year feels shorter than last

life stretches forever forward
your mind falls forever back

pan all the way back out.
think: keep it together, hold it in
fear: not one detail can be lost!

you’ve tried everything to find it, to feel it
a thousand schemes and sacrifices

panned out, details are escaping!
what’s happening in your moment?
are you blasting that same album?
bundling up a buncha nostalgia brownies?

Renewal is here.
Your Great Rebirth.

Pick your poison, your methodology, your broken-promise

What’s the symptom, what’s the disease?

You can take that extra life and stuff it.
