Analysis of The Stranger Friend
Charles Gordon Fawcett 1945 (Mission British Columbia)
Into your own world
Nat far from mine.
You move in a mist
Of some space out of time .
Lost in your dullard's mood
Speaking with none.
A place from my past
This time has undone.
No answer to questions
Burst into your mind .
For no questions are asked
In your lost space of time
