My Son, You Are Gone

Looking at the TV - I do not watch it
It was interactive, And I was in..
But when did you leave, my son?
Was it in school-final or earlier?
I don't know, precisely.
So surreptiously -
Your flight, I didn't see.
Know only that,
In deed, You are gone..
Necessary loss? I cry?
I notice movement in the TV
Calling for my participation
I press forward
Can I catch you - in another episode and time
in some semblance to you?
No - It's not possible, I know
You are very special, very unique
In the image of none
But what do I have, Except the ghosts,
Imitations celluloid.
