I Never Saw It Coming
by Philip F De Pinto
I never saw it coming
and I never saw it go
I never saw you coming
and I never saw you go
But where you went I suspect
was to make a new beginning
leaving the end to fend for itself
A beginning which I will not see coming
and neither will I see you go
to make it
being too old a dog
to learn to gnaw on a new bone
