I see no sign

[Jerrybaldy]

I just held on to a thought,
that maybe I already died
and the incense and the ash and the father,
bar none, they all blatantly lied.
Bare with me here..
I am quite unsure what I am,
I am unaquainted with my neighbours,
Koram and big Sam, the clam.

I feel that I am no longer here anymore,
I feel I am no longer here.
I feel that I am no longer here anymore,
I feel I am no longer here.
I feel that I am no longer here anymore,
I feel I am no longer here.

I feel that the second stanza can go on and on
the second stanza can go on and on
I feel that the second stanza can go on and on
the second stanza can go on and on
I feel that the second stanza can go on and on
the second stanza can go on and on
I feel that the second stanza can go on and on
the second stanza can go on and on
I feel that the second stanza can go on and on
the second stanza can go on and on
I feel that the second stanza can go on and on
the second stanza can go on and on
I feel that the second stanza can go on and on
the second stanza can go on and on

You seem to be alone in your admiration Jack but I thank you for your tenacity in bumping this over the last 18 months. I am proud that this connected with you that much. The closing lines still resonate with me but that is probably because you keep reintroducing them to me :) Cheers Jack.

I feel that I am no longer here anymore,
I feel I am no longer here.
I feel that I am no longer here anymore,
I feel I am no longer here.
I feel that I am no longer here anymore,
I feel I am no longer here.


Are you talkin' to me? You talkin' to me? There ain't nobody else here, so you must be talkin' to me. And if you're talkin' you must be here.

That's neither here nor there.

I love De Niro too Auntie.

[Jack of Hearts]

You penned it, poet. And the last lines, as they rise out of the first like a trembling sigh, roll around this reader's insides like the gasps of air after a deep knife cut, some wound unseen, some too delayed catharsis.

I agree with Jack, the second stanza echoes through my mind, too. And oh how well I know the feeling described in it! No one is an island, someone said? We all are, and when nobody knows us, sees us, acknowledges our existence, then are we truly here?

[Jack of Hearts]

Bump.

[Jerrybaldy]

[Jack of Hearts]

Still a gem.

I'm worse for I feel I'm myself sometimes

Great ink, my old pal

[Jerrybaldy]

Must be that time again. Thanks Jack.
Thank you Ang.

[Jack of Hearts]

Circle back around to it every 3 or 4 months or so...

I think that your confusion comes from the question that you

See no sign that you've been born, yet?
Or see no sign that you've signed for it, yet?

[Jerrybaldy]

Thank you free.

Thank you Jack for your return once more to this poem. Merry Christmas to you and to everybody on lit net x
