Analysis of A New Life



Eyes glazed over,
though you still see,
your jacket hanging
loosely about you,
tearful remembrance
escapes you
as you gaze
upon those you used to know.
Industrial sabotage
has tossed you around,
leaving shreds of a
once great man.
Distantly related,
perhaps twice removed,
but they’re the only ones
you have left.
Now you look in,
watching warmly,
wondering exactly what it is
you should say.
