THE EMPTY MAN….IS HE US?

They walk the earth
         and are gone

"Their only monument
          the asphalt road and
   a thousand lost golf
balls," said T.S. Eliot

and maybe the greenback
           dollar

Their thoughts are not of
           others, but
   of getting ahead...
way ahead

Did they come out of the sea
             or were they
   borned

Is that an unfilled God-shaped
              blank
    we see there

Is this image a symbol
            for....us?

Ah, but there is good news,
            to be heard
    on that lonely shore

Remember, the old hymn says
           "Chords that are
     broken will vibrate
once more!"
