line

we are always in line,
and we do not feel.
never do we step out of place.
but one is gone,
and one has gone through
    the line,
and he sleeps until his
dreams evaporate; day after day.

one's gone
we're stuck in a line,
    minus one.
and we feel.
we step out of place,
and feel out of place,
and make a line,
    to return
to our personal line, and

we were always in line,
and we did not feel,
never did we step out of place.

but we'll be back in line,
and then we'll feel,
never will we step out of place.
but one will be gone
one went through
    the line
and

one won't step back
    in line.
one will never step
    back in line.
