wandering – not wondering;
not praying for, nor pondering...
gods, lovers, & house flies –
closed-eyed watch the world go by.
& time just ticks: you & me;
time to rue, time to see...
time to discuss, out of disgust –
that which we of ourselves distrust.
& withering to cosmic dust;
no brilliant hues, no pretty rust...
we shall recall, & come to miss –
the lives we did not let exist.
a life we could not: let exist.
