often lost and forgotten

often lost and forgotten

A Poem by Philip Gaber


Ralph Ellison wrote about the invisible man. 

But guys like me are invisible, too. 

Our life’s pace and lack of urgency 
make us almost impossible to find. 

We begin disappearing early in life, 
usually after our first kiss. 

And from that point on 
we seem to vanish 
in front of all 
who come within eyeshot of us.

I often think I would, haha, and con man...but my values won't allow me. You're right, though, it can just as easily be turned into a positive for many people.

Gee
Some folk like it that way, to be nondescript, invisible, able to go about their business without interruption or intrusion, these folk would surely make the best criminals!
Good morning
