THE LAST SUNSET  -for Sam Armstrong

I missed it
I missed the last sunset

I even knew it was gonna
be the last one -
it was on the news
and everything

but I was worrying
and running around

like always

and I lost track of time

but that’s how they made me,
I guess,
to miss stuff

interestingly, the ones who made me
are the same one...
