I’d lost, so many pieces (of what??? Don’t ask!), and now, I’m startin’ to, look for them…
Looking, for the missing pieces, man, I don’t even recall when or where it was, they went missing, and, I remember, that they’d not all, gone missing, all at the same time!
not my picture…
Looking for the missing pieces, where, are you, come out, come out, wherever you are! God DAMN it! I’m tired, of playing this game of hide-and-go-seek here, never been good at finding things anyway. Looking for the missing pieces, and I’d kept on, comin’ up empty, just ‘bout to, give up, and, then, a flicker, a twinkle, in the distance, and I got the sense, that I’m about, to find another missing piece, and so, I keep on walking this path, to find ALL the pieces that had, gone missing………
Looking for my missing pieces, it’s like, searching for that needle, in that BIG ol’ haystack! There’s, a FAT chance of me, finding what I’d lost, but, the chance is still, not quite diminished, ‘cuz I know it’s in there (the haystack!!!), and if it takes turning the entire BARN upside down and right side up, I will, FIND them!
