The Office of the Lost & Found

The silence lies as thick as always In the corridors and hallways Upon the windowsills and tables And the cornices and gables The lack of sound is quite profound In the Office of the Lost & Found

Everything is inessential In the Records of Reduced Potential No tales of brave resistance In the Books of Bleak Existence It all just goes around and round In the Office of the Lost & Found .

Nothing happens nothing changes The best of friends are cold as strangers They don’t speak or talk or whisper They don’t lisp—there is no lisper The clocks are stopped they’re all unwound In the Office of the Lost & Found . . Mothers fathers sons and daughters Missing better halves or quarters Make inquiries by the dozen Where’s my niece? …my aunt? …my cousin?” But no-one hears, there is no sound In the Office of the Lost & Found.
