i somehow missed the off ramp

and went hurtling into space

i left part of my mind way behind

at the thought of this gradual erase

i thought that i missed an important turn

my circles became finite, but not so out of place

i spiralled, screaming into the dark

as i began this gradual erase

how could i have missed these emotional flat lines

as they became the wrinkles on my face

i succumb as i slowly become

an integral part of this gradual erase

...

i now know i missed pretty much everything

i have seen my future, whittled to nary a trace

i stare out of these cold eyes and i know

i am my own gradual erase

....
