Déja-Vu

Some people don’t like déja-vu

I’m not sure why.

Standing in that old brick building

I almost feel as if I am ten again

 

Leaning over a white railing

Looking at the colored floor below

Waiting for an old friend

To come join me

 

Reality comes rushing back

As a small hand grabs mine

I lurch back into the present

“Come play with me”

 

I follow the small child

Tell her the games we would play

Passing the torch to the younger ones

Isn’t five weeks of déja-vu grand?
