Alone Again, Naturally

The tapping keys are calling but in the background buildings loom - duty's calling I repose, think Two for the show and one for the road. You must go it alone, you must! You know other things too - like promises mingling with dust, like August without summer, that Requiem for what's dead is only procrastination - when life's arms of sunshine fill you with dread. Two for the show - one for the road.

Oh, when I saw the title of this poem, I kept thinking of the song by the same title, it's running through my mind as I read this, Sherese. Do you weave? Interesting that you've ended it with"Two for the show-one for the road". Melancholy ending. Best wishes!!!! Mikki
