For The Time Being That You Have No Need Of Me Poem by RIC BASTASA

feel confident
and be just like anybody on the street
do not think about
meeting me
sometime in the future
for i am nothing but a piece
of useless button
that you can throw
in space and feel
no emptiness in your pocket

somehow
there is a part in you that breaks
perhaps your heart
or your
stomach
you feel the hunger of love
the coldness that seeks the warmth
the word that feels the need of the tongue
so that it can be uttered

then you shall look for me
but i shall take the revenge

i will no longer be there anymore.
