A New Life..... Poem by RIC BASTASA

the way we sleep
tonight and the other past nights
speak of the usual story

how time makes us bores
and how we have decided not to touch
what is so usual

we have finally decided to look
the other way around
our backs facing each other

how we see other worlds out there
how we should forget the past
how we should meet the future as a stranger
how we start shaking hands again
to create a world anew
before our eyes
a new life.
