i have as many lovers as i did this time
last year
and that is none
i have not nearly as many
fears and more friends
i have, i have
i have an addiction to progress
and acquisition
i still believe that A can lead to B
i still can't believe, though I have seen it
how we invent connections
and how its really happening altogether
and rather happening all over again
so that you'll be lost if you think it
happened in Bethlehem
in another millenium
here, down the street from the grocery store
and the tired, smiling cashier
its happ'ning all over again
