FINALLY

There were no messages on my machine

no calls awaiting me at the office.

My door holds no notes

and no letters arrived.

No soul waved upon my return home

and I haven't received a telegram in years.

Finally

on this day

after years of planning and scheming

plotting and dreaming

I am alone.

No one to call me

no one to call

no one to care

if I live or die.

Finally

I am free.
