Same Old New Love in each of us Caution in all Connection and detachment In everyone A brotherhood of humanity Full of individuals Intelligence in all of us Idiocy too Every upside Has a downside The fleas always come With the dog I’ve seen the love in someone Appear at just the right moment And save everything for them Possibly worth saving I’ve also seen the love in someone Maim the people they most care for As it blinded them Into becoming a fool I’ve seen fear eat people alive As it destroyed What was in their heart So too I’ve seen the fear in someone Save them from great harm When at the right moment They heeded caution Even the best runners Trip and fall Every once in awhile And the slowest among us Can be quick to learn Even the smartest of us Have found themselves Acting like an idiot A time or two Impermanence Is mostly permanent Every day I awake And look in the mirror To find the same old Someone new Every morning I look out the window To find a new world Full of the same old change Every day it’s the same— I learn something new Dewey Dirks
