No Longer

"NO LONGER"



when I was a kid I disappeared. 
many people were called:
friends
family
hospitals 
cops
jails
even the mayor of Mexico.

I was surprised at the effort that 
went into looking 
for me.

I loathed it all.

years passed and these days as
at 32, I lock myself in my room
and write.

what day is it anyway?

friday, saturday, thursday, wednesday?
 
I live inside the systematic system.

this is temporary as everything 
eventually goes to ****.

the climax:
no effort is put forth to miss me 
since I've disappeared again.

there are no calls.
 
oh how I’ve longed for such an honor.
