stagger down like
      halting voices

      wait your turn
      to breathe

      repeat your life
      again and again

      moments don't live up
      to the memories

 

      reincarnate
      simpler and simpler

      the memories aren't
      what they used to be

      simmer down like
      staggering voices

      wait your turn
      to believe

 

      save your life
      one by one

      learn your lesson
      and be free   ?

      or spin the wheel
      one more time

      take your time--
      what else could you be?

 

      one more time
      again and again

      take your life
      and learn to see

      fall in line
      like lifting voices

      reincarnate
      like a memory
