This quest is eternal.
I’ve been looking for you
ever since we parted
all those years ago.
I didn’t even understand the internet then
but still I searched for you.
I Metacrawled and Alta Visited,
I jumped on the Dogpile
got Excited and screamed “Yahoo!”

I asked old friends who barely knew you
if they knew what happened to you.
I looked at alumni records
phone records
dental records
– I checked your old record store,
asking “have you seen her?”
but all I got in return
was the same old song.

I have no idea
if you’re dead or alive.
I’m spun all around
not knowing which was is up
in my seeking of you,
Jane.
I can’t seem to find you anywhere
assuming you even go under the name you used to.

But I’ll keep up the quest.
I will not give up
and someday
I’m sure
I’ll find you
Jane Smith
and when I do
it’ll be interesting.
