Poetry Corner:
people go away

Cassidy Madigan
people go away /5/

I don't think they were anybody's parents.

I don't think they were together,

actually.

I'm pretty sure

that they had

no relation

to each other.

I forgot their names.

I've got half a mind to think

that nobody knew their names.

Maybe they didn't have any

or maybe they were just

that forgettable.

Someday

maybe I will be in a photo.

And the story

will be all about me.

At least...

I think the story was about

them.

In the first place.
