The Same Thing Rewritten #3

I’ve turned this leaf over
somanytimes
it’s autumn.
I’ve played this tune out
somanytimes
it’s sung.

I’ve burnt this bridge
somanytimes
I’m drowning.
I’ve turned a new page
somanytimes
I’m blind.

I’ve stayed awake
somanynights
I’m nocturnal.
I’ve tried this rhyme
somanytimes
I’m numb.

I’ve watched this scene play
somanytimes
I’m an expert.
I’ve walked this route out
somanymiles
I’m done.

I’ve cleaned this place out
somanytimes
it’s sparkling.
I’ve turned the clock back
somanytimes
it’s dawn.
