Something on ![[livejournal.com profile]](https://www.dreamwidth.org/img/external/lj-userinfo.gif)
essius's page reminded me of an unfinished verse lurking somewhere in the debris of my life.
AWOL or Draft Dodger.
Noble houses rise, great empires fall
And still my name shall not be on the roll.
When some, through luck or skill stand tall
My upright stretch a crouch compared;
Remaining an unnoticed soul
Awaiting some non-existent call.
But should my name be called aloud
Would I heed it, should I say:
I'm known as something different now.
"Return to sender, gone away."
v.i.mmvi.
Slightly unsatisfying and too glib by half. Needs work.
