GONE, ALL GONE!

What can I say, really?

About This, this This!

Not that this!

Gone, all gone!

Who would have cared

Had I really slipped away?

Moaning in pneumonic silence

Gone, all gone!

And where are the streaking jets?

Who saved me from the boredom

Endless day to day days

Gone, all gone!

My past has passed

I stare into the unknown

Wondering, just wondering
