Twelfth Poem (Now You See It, Now You Don’t)

https://www.podomatic.com/podcasts/charlespoet/episodes/2017-01-14T23_26_05-08_00

It’s gone
Just like that
Never to be seen or heard from again

And it felt amazing
And it stopped me in my tracks
And when I came up for air I knew I’d either be a new man or a very old man with a new lease on life

She left town
In a flash of one hundred and fifty proof white lightning
Not even the shrewdest private dick could locate a whiff of her cheap perfume

And we do whatever we must do to survive
And the wheels of justice came to a grinding halt once upon a very long time ago
And I understand you want it dark, but trust me you don’t want it this dark.
