but you are here

nothing changes,
nothing stays
the same.
these words
you speak
are echoes of
what others have
said
in different ways.
your arms
and legs repeat
the motions
of what they've
done before.
you dial his number
but there's
no one there.
there is nowhere
else to be, but
here. the future
is not what
it used to be,
the yesterdays
once full of people
that you knew
are slowly
emptying.
