you were this kid i knew
a moment's glance filled spaces
left empty
for years, vanished spaces
occupying nowhere
it was all a flicker
and maybe it's better that way
leaving, disappearing before
the flicker can
and so it remains
painfully so with no future
in sight, the spaces are only
gaps now filled with unending fantasy
pastless
From time to time
you are this kid I knew
and other times
you were this kid i know
