lost and found


Yah
      went over hard
fell on my face

cut at the knees
                   although I felt no disgrace or embarrassment
at my cries
              my misplaced tears

No
      I really didnt know what happened  what took my place



   standing again

still not understanding

not all me was there

parts of me I didnt think I could shake

ended up in the Lost and Found

ended up in a lousy box overflowing with needed and needless things
                                                                          things that didnt matter a damn
that anyone looking through it

wouldnt waste their time stealing


other things were tempting

but they didnt fit

werent the right size

would have looked odd on

because they didnt belong


so they waited
                 weighted in the Lost and Found
waiting         


in the time that followed I wasnt as fast
sparks cooled
juices chilled

yet I waited


I don know if family or friends knew

and didnt say

or made excuses

for what went away


I sat still not knowing my colours had changed

or that I ate myself

in ways different and alone

waiting


Lost and Found has its place

I have mine

   then
           unexpectedly

you arrived

you recognised something of yours

something you didnt lose

but hoped to find

and the waiting  the waiting

fell behind

though other things were tempting

they wouldnt fit

they werent the right size

they would have looked odd

     they didnt belong


now were not waiting

weve been lost and found been lost and found

Nah
      we arent waiting



weve been Found
