Remnants

Wallace Dean LaBenne

There are imprint traces
There are odds and ends
There are unfilled spaces stored by former friends

There are muffled voices
There are odds and ends
There are Hobson's choices seen in former friends

There are secret symbols
There are odds and ends
There are stable gimbals known to former friends

There are surplus pieces
There are odds and ends
There are classic creases from the former friends

There are coded ciphers
There are odds and ends
There are panache lifers judged as former friends

There are tiny remnants
There are odds and ends
There are witty implants put with former friends
