Long Gone To Have Arrived Poem by Lawrence S. Pertillar

There was a time,
That does not seem to have been...
As long ago to have passed so fast.
When some folks could be told,
To get lost.
And away they would go.
To distance themselves.
Gone to stay that way.

But these days to say,
"Go away. Get lost! "
To anyone not suspected to be,
Would be pointless.
Since many have already been there.
Lost! Long gone.
Reaching that destination.
Without a foot needing to move,
Anywhere!
