Interchangeable

Commodified curiosities
Living in The Now
Losing yourself to Everything
And laughing at the ground.

Maybe I have lost it
In the lives of boys 
And the toils of men.
Maybe it all boils down to
When it starts and where it ends.

Maybe I have blurred the lines 
And lost the ones 
That bless broken shrines. 
Maybe I have lost the ones
That break me down 
In business that binds. 

Maybe I have lost myself 
To living in boxes 
And trusting trolls. 
Maybe I've found my place 
In cardboard clouds 
Under broken bridges of stone. 

Only time will tell 
Where we are:
How far from hell. 
And only time will see us through
The cardboard boxes that befell. 

Cancellation

I can't change my hair to match your mood
It can't be shades of red or blue. 

I can't be older to follow you;
My age is something only I pursue. 

We whispered vows in the night 
That kept me alive 
And when life got crazy- 
As lives will do- 
You went on your way: 
Not to adjust, just to renew.
