went missing

the day he woke up
day missing
getting ready
for counseling appointment
writing check, place in pocket
turning on music
but it's all wrong
the blues
rain falling
oh well
the day he woke up
day missing
thinking of phone calls
bills to pay, but
it was some other day
10:40
he read his watch
it was 13 minutes fast
he was 1 day fast
turning on music
but it's all wrong
the blues
rain falling
the blues
wait a minute
they only play that program
sunday mornings
10:40
missing church
not monday
day missing
day writing
day reading
went missing.
