Photocopies

I feel a change occuring
In my mind, my soul, caging
My thoughts, my affections
This emotion is raging
I feel these connections
In my neighbors, I can see aging
In eachothers' faces,
the paint on our houses, decaying
But please, let's slow our paces
The change too rapid for our salvaging
Rewind to our 90's parties
We seem to look better in those old photocopies
Our houses fresh with paint, reshaping
Our faces painted with smiles, illuminating
