The Past in Present Tense

History may not repeat itself ad infinitum,
but people surely do.

No one is new under the sun,
there is a you, a they, a she, a him
and multiples beside them.

The longer I live, the more people look like people who've hurt me...
but thankfully, too,
I'm seeing friends in new bodies.

There used to be a now and only now,
a you and only you--
but now that I'm older, I think about later,
and no one seems too far away
(You'll be coming around again).
