Now. Then.

She is that.

He is this.

Nasty, uncaring.

Possessive, obsessing.

Indifferent, crafty.

Self centered, narcissist.

As long as I've known her.

As long as I remember.

A pond unflowing.

A well closed from within.

Even though not one thing

about her or him or the world

is the same

From this to the next

breath or moment

Except when stuck in memory,

blinded by prejudice one is.

How else can you step

in the same river twice.
