the page is new. like the day
(but is the day new?
the prophets still cry the same cries
grief weighs the same on the lost scales
wealth and force still stalk the streets
and beat the nameless child)
the page is new
(but is the page new?
words still run the rough race
from name to name
smile to smile
hole to hole,
tossed around like online ads)
the day is new
(like the page? like an
artificial rose? like an
analyzed sun? like
vegenaise? like
a launch or a genocide or a like?
like a page?)
a page is new. like a day
(
