Cities

I settle into usual routines
As if the city programmed who I am
The simple input of remembered scenes
Serving as a self-defined program
That alters what I think and what I do
Making old things normal once again
Not changing what is possible or true
But how I act upon that knowledge when
I come to realize it. So here I
Am subtly different, and so I will be
Whenever I next put this city by
And go another place; another me.
Yet even as I change, I am still one
The same me reads the program I've begun.
