have we lost our sense of wonder
has our innocence departed like
the dead dry december leaves
that clicked echoing like crabs
across a tarnished linoleum floor…
and does it even matter anymore.
if so where do we go from here
i mean now that the sun has set
and the wind has died down mostly
to a muted immobile moan and
the leaves on the trees are bare…
and anyway do you really care.
remember when love was young
the sky wasnt just blue was it
no it was more like a miracle
spinning we closed our eyes as
we laughed falling to the ground…
and was the world really round.
are we just too used to each other
has the way we cling together
mutated into familiar contempt
and are we taken for granted
like the clouds or the sky…
and do we even know why.
