New
Robert loughran 1962 (Ireland)
I,m looking for something,
that can't be found,
It's from a future not yet invented.
Looking for an answer,
to a question not yet asked.
Debating with the demented.
A passenger
who has never disembarked.
Looking for the different in the same.
Stirring the old,
calling it new,
just a different name.
A pretender, a partaking in part,
a little dipping of the toe.
Trying to escape the living fact.
That think what we may,
what we have lived
Is all we know.
