People Missing in your Life
The Gm chord penetrated h from some 40 feet away
he held back the tears, easier with a dry eye condition
memories of what life has been,
replaying what has occurred,
what has been missed,
those sleepy people out on the edge
that drop from consciousness,
phone numbers that no longer work
disconnected in more than one way,
lines that presently travel through space
away from the streets lined with posts
into orbit, so many miles above the surface
yet penetrate deep below it
a sadness,
perhaps soon, disease of memory will take hold
and all will become moot
if not, there are always ways to search
if one can recall even a part of their name
and when, how, why and
where last
they were seen.
