Times

How many times have you heard it said
The more things change the more they stay the same?
I'm not the first to give it light, nor the
Last to be victim of such a strange, strange game.

Given this ambiguous state of things
Should we be non-plus?
I'm undecided;
One hand on a book and one on a screen,
Walking purposefully into a strange strange scene.

Give me rope enough to reach the universe,
A lantern,
A wish and
A firm hand stranger
In the strangest of lands.
