I Have Lost My Life if I seem to have love my gravitas I assure you it is worse than that I have lost my life I vaguely remember when it disappeared it actually made a sound yes, it really did there was a vocal sound of death I recall it let out an exasperating little sigh kinda how steam sounds then my life disappeared wasn't that long ago and I have looked for it, but you know where the hell does one go looking for a disappearing, wayward life don't know I'm still looking though I feel lonesome without my life wasn't all that long ago that it left and didn't come back suppose I should've seen it coming I've managed to grow old true, I'm not a nonagenarian not yet have a few more birthdays until then I don't think it was anything I did exactly that caused my life to cease to exist matter of fact I thought we were compatible uh huh I'm always the last to know I can't quit searching through my life's old haunts my stories poems stories and poems cause that's what I do I'm no raconteur no, I write my stories and I am one hundred percent sure that is where I lost my life too caught up with my last novel hard-boiled detective stuff tough guys tougher gals life was mislaid there too involved with plot et al ah see, life really isn't lost no only misplaced so happy I figured that out now I know where to find it ©April 6, 2018 / Jerry Pat Bolton ~ If they give you ruled paper, write sideways. ~ |
