the smedley log - suburban scrawl

I’m not who I’ve been,
though I can’t remember when
things were different.

That is fab.

Thanks Frank!

I hope it’s relatively transparent meaning-wise. I think I was discussing the boiling frog phenomenon with someone at work (as part of a larger discussion about how we don’t notice the slow degradation of things like quality of life, civil liberties, etc.). Things are constantly changing, but often so slowly that the subtlety of change is invisible to the naked eye.

Or something like that.

I really like the rhythm of it and the irony of the writing. Would make a great song lyric.

Thanks!
