Mercury

Quietly, almost elusivelyAlmost invisibly,I found that Ifor a momentHad slipped away.Ripped in two, then pasted back again,Then crumpled up inside,Then tossed asideyou know thatIt feels so bad.oh Mercuryoh MercuryHappened once, then ithappened twice,Then it happened thrice,And now a fourth?You know that?Quietly, almost elusivelyAlmost invisibly,I found that Ifor a momentHad slipped away.oh Mercury
