Lost, Missing

                                                                  

Where I am, tonight, I just don't know, can't say.

I'm not even on my obsolete radar's screen,

Let alone on my up-to-the-moment GPS.

 

That my hermetically reflective intellect

Assumes I'm lost, missing,

Could be it making another of its overthought miscues.

 

Then again, maybe not; perhaps it's got it right.

My most immediate speculation is this:

The present has, as have my past and future, escaped me.

 

All that's left of my once-impressive essence

Is this silence possessing me,

In which I coexist with vapors that remember me

 

From the time when I was yet young enough

To believe that life would buoy me

Beyond man's allotted span, in the Old Testament.

 

Whatever delusions, deliriums that era promised,

Tonight, I'm more lost, missing, than death's stepchildren.

Tomorrow, where, who, when will I be?
