I’m gone
And if you can think of me
As always reaching further
Know this
I’ll try and find out
What happens next.
Terry called it
The Collis catastrophic effect
Always taking every experiment
Just one step further
But the outcome
Sometimes worked out right
The best evidence
Of underlying good sense
Breaking surface madness
Is Brian
Whom I recognised, and then just stopped
from slipping through my fingers
And, if going on
To my personal interview
With the silver sickle
Leaves a choice
Can I let go
a final time? You’ll know.
