That person you saw,
The one you greeted,
You looked into his eyes
Hoping to see
everything you knew.
He was not there.
Only a vague notion
Parroting the requisite words,
Without conviction.
This automaton that stomps
the tar to get from A to B,
Isn't really going anywhere.
The conversations we had
Never took place,
Just phantom dialogues.
Recall them, if you can.
I've been gone for so long.
Unable to return.
