It appears and disappears at will but still seems the same.
If I stare long and hard then inch by inch,
yard by yard things get closer,
these are imperial measures because it's too difficult to find the
metric result in the converter
and it hurts a
man to realise that he hasn't got the savvy
to be a modern
navi..
..gator.

rhymes are optional and proportional to the whole which is
also getting closer.

memory being relative to recent history
I'll plead the fifth and take a drink
so
that's how it appears and disappears
things rear their ugly heads
like
monsters underneath our beds
and
we sleep on
unaware that out there
the World is changing.
