Written by Jacob Ibrag
They served narrative,
and we fed. They told us to look
away, and we did. Today we exercise
the right to wake. Today we give them
what they want or swear off familiarity.
Fallen leaves are meant to fade. Broken
realities are meant to be replaced.
Eyes + Words 
Broken realities are meant to be replaced..just like the old norms ..meant to be mended
Beautiful poetry..

Beautiful and beautifully ambiguous. Is it about the election, the season, both? As always, love your writing and the sense of mystery it contains.

It can be about the election or even the season. I’ll leave the interpretations up to you 🙂
