so new

and so old 

All your matter 

( all that matters )

all your smallest molecules 

have been here since the beginning 

All your thoughts have been had 

even your face has been worn 

by someone else 

( by time )

Everything before your eyes

was here before you

And yet you 

This randomly generated seed 

this statistically ( probably ) unique being 

this ancient thing 

a flame by any other name

where brevity and eternity bend to meet
