Analysis of Most Often Missed
Some things are unknowable as they are,
and need an alias to come true
Some people only known through someone else,
and you must look hard to see through
Not in hiding, but contained within,
symbiotic they exist
To live and die within something else
—a thing most often missed
(Villanova Pennsylvania: October, 2016)
