DISAPPEARANCE

That night when the man left work
	he drove away from the city
the car disappeared
				he disappeared

His family began looking for him
			his wife wept
		his children were bewildered
		his brothers talked
					to the police

They never found him anywhere
   and after some time they forgot
					   about him

And that is the end of the story
		   except that 
	     once in a while
		    he calls others away
				       too.
