Challenge to an old soul
Experience life
Without the invisible familiar
Without reverting to French to say
I’ve:
Been here
Done this
Felt this
Tasted this
Said that
Before:
Daredevils
Some
Wise beyond their years
Others
Everything seems a bit
Familiar
Headlights through a fog
Speech slightly undecipherable
Familiar
Everything seems a bit
Never
This thing called
New
The ones physically, mentally older say:
“Cause you been here before.”
Even way back then you said,
“If that was true,
I know me
I would remember.”
They all laughed
Every one of them
“And that’s why you still here.
Why you keep coming back.
You forget
To. . .”
