A poem about staying in touch
It’s so nice you called today; I want to stay
This frame of existence, photographed, would look
Like one of those images seen e’ry day
If I could, I’d file it away in a book
One of those massive but intimate displays
Left on the tabletop, cornered in the nook
Friend, family, perchance acquaintance once known
‘Tis often misjudged: love, and gratitude sown
When we’ve reached out to those people we once knew
Simply to ask, dear friend, “How’s it gone with you?”
Prompting forgotten impressions: left anew.
