the next life

it's a different life
now
than it was before. and
before that
it was a different life
then, too,
who you were, where
you worked, who
you knew,
the bed you slept in.
even the clothes you wore
were different.
a new set of friends
appeared.
and what lies ahead?
what's the next life
going to look like?
will anyone you know
be there?
will you still recognize
your face
in the mirror?
