Youthful Replacements


from the north comes the cold

from the south comes the warmth

from the east comes the rain

from the west comes the snow

from the heartland comes the uncertainy

of the future that looms over our heads

like a winter storm...  we are more

uncertain now than ever before as

we lean into a new year with old ideas

and solutions...  we live in the past,

moving foward in time and space,

seeing the dark replace the light as

the days shorten and get colder...

our walls close in on us as we look

for the right colors with which to 

paint them all, without using the

primer to prepare them first...  our

lives are forfeit as a younger group

of people make the decisions, replacing

the marketplace with fresh blood.
