The Drama of the Past

i am most disconcerted by the disconnect i feel from those who have impacted me the most

the memories of our times together and the words of significant conversations stream through my brain in a constant play

i am both audience and participant to this drama of the past
confused as to how to consolidate what i have seen with what i am seeing now
with who i am being with now

i am more a friend to ghosts than flesh and bone it seems
perhaps there really is no moving on

each day i open the big back door of the moving truck and everyone i have ever known greets me and steps out onto the street of my new home

The world is full of people whose notion of a satisfactory future is, in fact, a return to the idealised past.
