novice to her past

set a foot in it

but got burnt

no truce in it

old people with new

masks and whorls

smiles bright as ever

but pulled tautly

for a show

mistaking asphalts

for home

ducking behind each

swirl of silver

the bitter-sweet

aftertaste lingers

of the good times

of the caves

and we reassured

the other that

the world can wait

for us to wane

in our

humongous futures.
