something is missing

something is missing.

it's just a feeling,

but it's gone.

i can't

put my finger on

exactly what it is,

but something

is lost.

i put it somewhere,

is it beneath

that pile of papers,

in a drawer?

maybe i left it in the car

or truck.

did i leave it

at work? on the bus,

the train,

or in a restaurant

in New York.

something is missing,

but i don't know what it is.
