I want to vanish - a photo on Flickriver

I want to vanish

            I want to vanish
 This is my fondest wish
 To go where I cannot be captured
 Laid on a decorated dish

Even in splendour this curious fate
 Is more than I care to surrender, now it's too late

Whether in wonder or indecent haste
 You arrange the mirrors and the spools
 To snare the rare and precious jewels
 That were only made of paste

If you should stumble upon my last remark
 I'm crying in the wilderness
 I'm trying my best to make it dark
 How can I tell you I'm rarer than most?
 I'm certain as a lost dog, pondering a signpost

Whether in wonder or indecent haste
 You arrange the mirrors and the spools
 To snare the rare and precious jewels
 That were only made of paste

I want to vanish
 This is my last request
 I've given you the awful truth
 Now give me my rest
