Someday is No Day


i don't know anything
                about anything
                most of all
                about myself
                        except
                        that
        i lost myself
                a long time ago.
        i buried myself
                beneath the many blankets of facades.
        i hid myself
                from myself and this world,
        and i know not where
                i am.
                i am lost
                        somewhere.
        i doubt that i shall be found
                        SOMEDAY.
        and in SOMEDAY all things happen;
                all things that is
                        except
                        the recovery
                        of me.
                No day is SOMEDAY for me.
                        

                i buried myself
                long ago, very deep,
        wishing and hoping then
        never to be discovered
        or
        maybe at the time
                        i didn't know
                        i was tossing myself
away from myself,
                        burying
                                myself
                                        to
                                           escape
                                           myself.
                                i don't know.
                                i don't know anything
                                           about anything
                                           most of all
                                           about myself.
