and what happened to the other half

i will tell you
what happened after a
deep contemplation of
the nonexistence

of those few who
still exist: we searched
for you: first left then right
it was a scattering

of the little that
remained of the blinds,
here a bit, there another
bit but a hundred

bucks later: a
good chastising and
we have new window
covers: ready

to close out the world once again

it all follows the
nonexistence of dreams
as we continue down
our path, boo

sighing that life
had somehow left him
and all he had left was
a version of me
