Why should I try to find that street?
Where nothing is
and
nothing will be.
A residue of you.
Proof you still exist,
these years later.
In my mind you don't,
except as you were
the last time I saw you.
Or maybe the last
before that.
A better time
Or a worse,
really.
The children play.
Life goes on as if, as if
nothing
ever happened.
Then again,
it IS true.
Nothing ever happened.
Was I ever so young?
I'm sure you were.
But of me, I doubt.
I think
Perhaps
I was born old.
I have ceased to exist,
as though I could pretend
I ever really did.
