New by justine mclaughlin

NEW

He said he knew
She said it was new
They said we knew
I said it wasn’t new
It was old

That the old
Had become new
That what I thought I knew
Wasn’t new
It was old news

Therefore
It just wasn’t new anymore
We needed something
We needed something new
A new beginning
A new start
A new life

Something ridiculous
Something permanent
Something warm maybe
Anything
Just make sure it’s new
