the stranger

by Abe (Gemini) - Aquarius

walking down the mainstreet
of a small southern town
the places all look the same
as they did three years ago
but nothing will ever be the same
i don't recognize the faces
of the people or the shops
and all the names have changed
i am the stranger now
in my own home town
where once all the faces on the street
were as familiar to me
as my own name
in the local paper
