Lost, Unfound

so they asked me
what I thought I was playing at?
pushing a piano
all the way
from Land’s end
and up
as far
as John O’Groats?

easy
i said
in my most minimal way

you see… .. ..
i search in the hedge rows
i search on the ground
for something they say
that can never be found

so all the way
up to John O’Groats
i’m on the trail
cross river
through dale
for Monsieur Eric Satie’s
missing notes!
