repeating

come and go
little new people popping
in and out of
heart and head
('the sound is plonk',
he said)
and oh, but I tried
so hard
and
(can someone see me cry?)
still they do
what they do
and that old refrain
if they would but
refrain
from leaving always
every time
it would be rather
nice,
i'm thinking.

those that leave
wouldn't you rather
have them gone
anyway?

yes, but there is
all the chagrin
at effort put in
wasted

o but such efforts
save only
the unworthy

stop looking in lost and found
stop waiting to be be crowned
stop chasing them around
loosen up and be unwound
???!!!! hmmm...
