(when We was Us)

I must preface this poem by saying that the dots between the various couplings are there only because I couldn't figure out how to space them the way I wanted them spaced otherwise. In a perfect world (on my paper here infront of me) they would not be there.

(when We was Us)

We was Us
back in Time
now we are here
in Future so big

Alot has changed
He is old and shriveled
not so big here in Future
back in Time Alot was monstrous

here in Future....................................back in Time
Months fly past..................................Days lounged around
Be careful, don’t get hit.....................Take a stroll
Crossing the year...............................Take a day

Sun pounds each day.........................Sun soaked on clouds
Things grow too fast...................Things eased their way forward
We are always under construction...Us was ever stable
Don’t fall through the cracks.............Floating through the clouds

We goes this way and that.................Us stayed quietly at home
trying to find direction.......................loafing in tender happiness
But Future is so big............................And Time is so quaint
And We is so small.............................But Us is getting bored
