Not Stepping In The Same River Twice

how odd when revisiting
the places that you knew
to find so unexpectedly

they don't remember you

as if in leaving
the space for you had closed

and others wandered in your place
and others wore your clothes
it's like no dent in water

a former person said
whenever you walk out the door
it's closing on your head

seamless and so silver the water shows no change
it's you that deep inside your mind
yourself must rearrange.
