I see everything that has come before me Collapsing on itself in a fog of history Like Nirvana Nevermind on my niece's shirt It's all decontextualized and remade each morning On inconsistent ground I have my footing And then I fly off again I float in warm irrelevance Understanding nothing of what came before Adrift in the right now But I hear you walking I hear people speaking The frost on the leaves is melting The sun that shined on the ancients is back up And binds me for all time To all of everything
