Work Text:
Familiar, unfamiliar.
Yet all the same.
A song to pay the toll of life.
What do you need?
I know what you need.
Tales of the strangely similar.
I bid thee farewell, oh
familiar-unfamiliar.
Your story I will play,
to the next lone straggling soul.
New place, as familiar (unfamiliar) as the last one.
You again,
I do not know you,
and you know not me.
A different narrative,
just as necessary as the last.
You turn away,
I am gone.
Wandering through the unfamiliar familiar.
