30 years of Grammar

We thought something was lost.

30 years, they said.

Maybe it wasn’t behind.
Maybe it was somewhere else.

It didn’t collapse.
It didn’t accelerate either.

Something else was there.

When it looked like collapse, something stayed.

Growth is one grammar.
But it might not be the only one.

Some things are not meant to be measured.
But they remain.

They are carried on.
If you remember.
