everything looks the same

this summer will be exactly like the one before it, 

it will taste like coffee, hummus, and pelegrino,

smell like sweet salts and moroccan oil,

look like opportunity,

and feel like the brink of perfection.

all of these things will be experienced by a new person in an old setting. 

i will be able to feel the vibrations and hear the echoes

of who i once was, 

mesmerized by the apple at the center of the garden. 

what will i become if change is inevitable? 

place your bets, the transformation starts now.
