Come and Gone

Can you tell me where Atlantis is?
An island that sank into the ocean
in a single day and night of misfortune?

Can you tell me where D.B. Cooper is?
A hijacker who parachuted into the night
while the plane flew to Reno?

Can you tell me where Amelia Earheart is?
An aviatrix who headed toward Howland Island
but never reached her destination?

And…

Can you tell me where the Holy Grail is?
A sacred cup, a holy cup,
the most precious of all the artifacts?

I’d rather search for each one of them
than my lover who has come and gone.

(I read a news about Amelia Earheart today... so again, I ended up writing this one.)
