Lonnie Hicks - Catch Me

'Hi
How long have you been here?
Did you see a person that looks
a lot like me pass by?

Oh you did?

That I hate to tell you
that is My Future.

I have been chasing it
all my life;
never seem to really catch it though.

Have to go.

My Past
is gaining on me.

Who are you again? '

'I'm your You Now.

'Hang around a while? '

'No can't do that
must get going.'

Without chasing
that Future
I am Nobody'
