first impression

First impressions of what once was
Space, land, streets, houses, town
These were always contemporary
an unfolding of structure
that which continued to manifest as ‘now’.
The story
of what we wanted to be
dramatically changed
and re-born.
Knowing from an undefined point of observation
objects that appear and disappear
The eye
Rapidly moving from point to point over what was
While what is
remains
Ever present
And unchanging
