reasons to stay
how far back can you go
sparked by poetry or song
time seemingly at a standstill
current situation suddenly
becoming secondary in nature
the answer is limited only by
imaginary boundaries
preset and meant to be broken
continually experimenting
for the ultimate good
do not worry of past places
you’ve not yet visited
for they’ve been inside you
since the beginning of time
predestined to be relived
august two thousand nineteen
