Ship of Theseus

by ddscott

Do you still believe in the 4th of July Or did you have enough firework nights To grow reason and fatigue All the peripheral damage Cast to the aesthetic of days Lost in cyclical episodes Are we the sum of all parts Or the spacial matter we accept Sorting about reason and fatigue Replacing one for the other To detox the frailty of erosion Spun in proverbial orbs Yield to content at your own accord Catch the dying light of days As it bows to tomorrow Is the sun the same Does the moon change beyond shape Your paradox thoughts spin With the rotation of clocks
