Nobody can accept this answer

                            absolutely nobody

no matter how many times I tell them.

They will argue that

You stand on the bridge,

Contemplating the water.

I don't have to tell you this,

You already know.

You look out.

I don't know

If you're looking at the river

or at the bridge

that's halfway

When she was little 

She wore the same shirt every day

In different colors 

The shirts where plain with a small design 

Her mom bought her plenty of sweaters

With cute patterns and fun colors

Blind

To see the world through closed eyes, nothing and everything all at once

To hear the music of the earth and dance their way through life's perils

To feel the ground beneath their feet as they travel

I am young, 

But if I where a dog I would be in my late 70s

And I have lived for 4x longer than most hamsters

And 170 lifetimes of a fly.

Each day I live is all a mayfly lives in their entire life.
