History runs like a broken record. it concerns

itself only with itself, yet

we go on living, in Expectation of

something Different.  This hope is what

keeps us, leaves us here

and who am I to dash anyone’s hopes?

But I’m a cynic at heart, and repeats

exasperate me. I say, is there hope for me?

Or will I repeat myself,

Convincing little more than myself,

like some broken record?
