New Century Poem

The seasons

Beautiful, involved, 

Lovely like elevators

And the floors of thought 

Who thought the party 

Was always where 

The lamps were on.

Glasses arrange themselves 

In the green light. 

A familiar spirit 

Changes into a hush 

On the hills in the evening. 

When the room darkens,

And we can see no farther 

Then the face in the window 

See the centuries pass

People as in the theater 

Waltz out from their seats 

As lights turn on 

And new ones waltz in.
