a

a was a friendly guy
walked down the street saying hey!
some folks thought he was odd
but that was just his way

and so he went along
with a smile upon his face
and then one day he was gone
gone without a trace

few folks ever wondered
where he went or why
and if gently reminded
would say, oh yeah, that guy

who among us, brothers snd sisters
will escape a similar fate?
will even one person wave
as we pass through the earthly gate?

z

z has a job
five days a week
of its details
he does not speak

on his days off
he goes for walks
to the mountain
and around the block

no one cares much
what he does
his thoughts if any
produce no buzz

if by chance
you pass him by
do not look him
in the eye

y

y was a clown
with a purple face
who amused the children
with style and grace

the circus traveled
from town to town
but meanwhile the world
was burning down

y’s sad antics
were met with scorn
a new race of humans
was being born

the circus vanished
into the mist
this story has
no final twist

x

x was a human
who lived in a tree
was not you
and was not me

walked at night
down highways gray
slept in the fields
at break of day

folks thought they
had x’s measure
that x had a secret
buried treasure

no one knows
where x has gone
the rain falls down
where the sun once shone
