I Am Your Mirage Poem by Lawrence S. Pertillar

I thought you told me you were moving away?

'I did.'

Oh.
So you are here on a visit?

'No.
Just shopping for a few things I need.'

But you told me you were moving away?

'I did.
I moved away from you.'

Well,
It's good you're still in the area.

'You know what a mirage is? '

Yes.
Of course I do.

'That's good.
Then you will have no problem at all,
Considering me to be one.'

What are you saying?

'I am your mirage.
C-ya! '
