Three dark <br />Shadows lurking <br />In the dark park <br />On a dark night <br />One leads <br />The two others <br />Follow wearing <br />Black raincoats <br />On a dark road <br />I lead <br />I tell them <br />My name <br />My work <br />My place <br /> <br />The two <br />Did not follow <br />Since then <br />They realized <br />Perhaps that <br />With what <br />I tell them <br />I am blacker <br />Than black <br />On a dark <br />Raincoat <br />On a dark <br />Park <br />On a dark <br />Road <br />& <br />In my dark <br />Mind <br />It would <br />Be so hard <br />For them <br />To follow <br />Through & <br />Through. <br /> <br />They quit <br />They split <br />& <br />So I <br />Walk alone <br />In the dark <br />As one lonely <br />Shadow <br />Darker than <br />Dark <br />& <br />Now <br />It is you <br />Here <br />Following me? <br />In fact <br />We change <br />And it is <br />You <br />In effect <br />Who is <br />Leading me <br />Through <br />These lines <br />Flowing <br />Slowly <br />Gradually <br />Getting <br />Darker than <br />Dark <br /> <br />You have <br />Indulged & <br />Surely <br />You are <br />Involved <br />Deeply <br />Long enough <br /> <br />You win <br />& lose…<br /><br />RIC S.
