- All stayed the same, just as it was..., by Andrey Kneller
All stayed the same, just as it was, /
Here it is futile to be dreaming, /
This road’s impassable, I close /
My shutters early in the evening.

- Everything here’s exactly the same..., by Seraphina Powell

as it ever was; it won’t get better— /
don’t even dream it will.
When yours is a ramshackle house /
on a forgo...
