Going On

Going On

I go on,
notwithstanding wistful loss
of this most common symbol.

Its ubiquity far outstrips
a supporting cast
of minor actors.

But now I apply it not
in my pursuit
of iambic goals.

Still, I go on writing,
always writing,
in similar kind.

I miss its familiar look,
but I will build up
an analogous world of words.
