meet the parents
each time the same
and different
tell that to the kids
body knows what body feels
loss across the years
ordinary people
or not all learn
dreams will falter
& drift memory
batters against stories
organizing what realities
no one can now recall
each time we tell them again

It was cold, in a way that Shadow was starting to become familiar with: colder inside the building than out. He wondered how they did that, if it was a British building secret.
