ALWAYS

ALWAYS

always forgetting
always
     losing my luggage
always getting
lost

missing my classes
at the wrong bus stop
on the wrong train

the Express
between Manchester
and Cape Town
somehow
    not running
today

   at least not from
this platform, though
there is
      another, they say

always another, which I did
raise with
      my chatbots (somewhat
celestial minds)
spoke of
  this recurrence
       and why no
GPS down in
this cave

and why you
still haunt me, both
here
    and far away

who did
        promised to
see me
indeed greet me

if when
   all of this has gone
strangely disappeared
and something
(rather
     than nothing) would
appear to remain
