Where were you when the river murmured to me and the elf told a history?
Where were you when I hanged mostly for words, words that hanged you for someone else?
Where were you when the grass flipped to the other side to show me nicely how it was like to come back to life?
Where were you when the trees point at a distance towards a sky so distant but free?
Where were you when the irresistible grasp time and time again held the ropes of a peculiar heart?
Where were you when the light divided the iris of my eyes spending damnation from a swift serving hand of ignorance?
Where were you when the wall echoed to me the sound made by the self which created it?
Where were you among us and thorns?
Where were you when words convened to build a silent shelter for a hopeless invitation towards a mountain far above the clouds so much louder than the parade of constant goodbyes?
Where were you in this postmodern time you, godly man?
Where were you when God only knew what you would choose to chew to make me blue?
Where were you when the wild horses and the screaming voices wrote to me in my memory?
Where were you when the frog grew more of his limbs dragging behind you more of his noisy reproach?
Where were you among the sheets, white paper, and fallen bugs?
Where were you when the frightened ones fell over and over a thousand times?
Where were you headed towards when you said you would come back before dinner time?
Where were you when all the dogs went to heaven?
Where were you when the poem rolled back with the toothbrush, elastic band, and the power of observation?
Where were you when the rain whispered to meet me another sunny day?
Where were you when the light receded miles away feeling endless impressive shocks from a backseat?
Where were you when you had easy money and I had to call you out for your own protein pills?
Where were you partying when we parted over the phone?
Where were you when 90% of the adolescents were trying to be deep and the other 10% were just pouring all sweetened compliments?
Where were you when the night became simplified?
Where were you making a hole out of a dangerous soul?
A composite of me and the universe
