Gone today

The mist erased the entire, huge city
Like it never existed;
All of the trash, the triumph, the angsty beauty,
Covered in a cloud of tiny droplets.

If you can't see something
Is it really there? If
You wake up one pre-dawn to find
What's been in the same place
Every day, every year, is no longer,
Was it ever? 

They say when you leave a dog at home
They think you're gone forever
And if you come back a minute later
They greet you the same
As if you've been gone for a year.

They say the key is to live in the moment.
So this moment, the city
Is gone.
And if tomorrow is not guaranteed,
It may be gone
Forever.
