generic rout(e)

You are, you know, generic. 
It's just 
you invented the genre
yourself, and we've 
come to trust your surprises 
uniquely-conceived, one not 
like the other. Too easy, 
believed in one long summer 
swallow, and lofted to heights 

- we shan't find tomorrow,
when hindsight blights. 
With the bloom off the novel 
and everything plain. 

Pattern recognition 
you somehow dodge 
every instant of commission 
clicks in like a frame 

same same
