Re Reading Old Words


Once again I’m re-reading old words

rereading them

over and over again

like comfort eating

to avoid the shock

of the new.

Re-read

review

like an album of old photographs

of people locked in their past

still located there

living there

dead

history in a flash

gone in a flash

brought back

to life

dead

renewed on a treadmill

turning

round and round

on a loop

replaying

endlessly

returning like old clothes 

kept for comfort 

to be worn again

like re-read words. 

The new rejected

neglected

shut out

so I can languish

in the comfort

zone of the old

dead words

for ever.
