So Long Now
That poem I wrote
so long ago
has now gone missing
and I've hoped
so long now
that I will discover it.
Perhaps it went into a drawer
so long ago
and has been taken out in error;
has now gone missing,
though I've hoped
so long now
that it will show up.
Have we not mislaid our stuff from
so long ago?
Is it stuff that may remain
gone for ever?
Though I've hoped
so long now
that we will see something we'll never see.
