I keep looking for it
but i’m unable to find it.
It was here in my pocket
once
I thought…
I’ve looked high and low
inside and out
I’ve tossed imagination
with fact
and chose not to react
with anything but the truth
where could it have disappeared to?
it is slippery when it’s loose
I thought it came forever attached
and it turns out it’s easy to lose
under the bed
or in a closet somewhere?
I am such a silly goose
up until now i didn’t even know
it was required of me
to safe keep
under a lock and key
this special trinket
that becomes me
oh where is it?
it feels a bit empty right now
but this is temporary
yes, it’s temporary
I’ll find it someday
somehow
what will that look like wonder?
and what version of me
will I be?
