numbers,
letters shifting,
changing,
transforming
the meaning at
the surface and
deeper no longer the
same

we miss and we
long for a return to
normalcy
but it has flown
and will not
return

the time switches
hours and minutes
the poem morphs
into a page

the poems changing
with the times
we hugged so long
today

the numbers,
letters,
shifting, changing,
transforming
until the original
is gone
and some new
beast is built for us
to defeat
