Who is next in line? April 19, 2024

  

Do the old ones vanish

When the new ones come?

The guy with the bar replacing

The girl with that place to eat

With me taking my place

In this line of chicks

Desperately following

This trail of feed,

Only to be replaced

By someone new

Maybe more than one

Since so much time

Has passed

Since I had my share.

What happens to the old ones?

Do we evaporate

Into thin air?

Or do we take a number

And wait our turn

For her to get back to us,

Knowing down deep

She never will,

Can’t, must not,

Needs to concentrate

On the here and now,

When the past is the past

To forget about.
