Don't remember poetry or meeting you
writing words of wisdom in a human zoo
allowed to throw taunts from my nightly cage
allowed to pull stunts on my worldly stage

Caught in the cycle that Shakespeare denoted
I am born on a theatre, platform coated
in motion towards a final curtain
I know life's cyclical brevity for certain...
as soon as I exit off the far left
another man will fill my human cleft

Don't remember your physical presence
yet cameo images insist to decorate
a final resting place, result of subtle fate
don't remember ever meeting you
sharing a moment, even a seasonal flu

Am caught in a web spun by life's circumstance
to reap what I can sew given an opportune chance
to remember a poem or gently forget,
dry myself off when the weather turns wet...

As soon as I exit the stage, off far left,
another will stand in to fill my human cleft.

This leaves one asking questions, Martin...
as poems should do...

Thank you!

A great interpretation of the cycle many of us feel more often than many. Enjoyed.
