Thrill Seeker

Vamos,
the man of the hour
keeps saying;
vamos,
let us be going.

Get on,
get out: leave here
as of right now.
Don't look back,
only forward.

For soon
the real departures
will begin;
nothing you can do
about this.

It's time
to get a move on
while you
still can:
For once, get going!!

Who can say
just when or where
we're going?
And who
could ever know?

Just go.
That's all I'm asking
& have asked
of you
since we first met,

since we
first ran into each other.
Why ask why?
Any given time
the open road

calls out
to us we have to obey.
It is now time
for you & I
to leave.

Vamos.
This is not the lonesome
sound of
goodbye
you've been

used to
hearing for ages, not the
distant echoes
of farewell
nor the fading music

which ends
on one note & one
note only.
To tell you
honestly, we're making

our entrance
into the great unknown,
not an exit.
Vamos,
let us be going.
