People talk about the missing plane
Was it hijacked or did it drown?
Relatives and friends wait and watch
Day after
day more speculations abound.
My wife and
I had kissed goodbye
On that
fearfully fateful night.
But I visited
my girlfriend instead
Though I had
booked a seat on that flight.
Most
peculiar is my present situation
For I hide in
my girlfriend’s apartment.
Whiling away
in guilt and shame
These dark days
of bitter torment.
