With each passing day
Life has a way
Of showing us all what's what
Curtains drawn, covers lifted
Perspectives have shifted
Some soar; others stuck in a rut
The truth of the matter
Is that folks were never
The stars in the stories they’d tell
When push came to shoving
Reality set in
Now everything’s clear as a bell
Some words we use loosely
Sometimes, the stuff you see
Is simply a lovely facade
But up close, it’s easy
To discern things more clearly
That, perhaps, have always seemed odd
It stands to reason
In this bizarre season
That much will be tested and tried
That what happened before
May not work anymore
And all pretense will be laid aside
That the yes's once said
Will be firm no's instead
And new boundaries will find their way
Into places once breached
That are now out of reach
And will remain so, every day
