“Someday, someday, but certainly not now, I’d like to learn how to have a conversation.” from Sherry Turkel in ‘The Flight from Conversation’.
Dear friend,
It’s been so long, we’re losing touch
We don’t go for coffee very much.
I wonder how it’s come to be
You very rarely try to ring me,
Yet when I reach for my smart phone
I stop to think if you’re alone,
Or if in the darkness of your room
One thousand, three hundred and twenty two
Other friends are thinking like I am.
We met at school, we looked the same,
But by now, you must have changed your hair –
Is that youthful glow really still there?
Reply to me now, I need to know
‘Cause if you get this and we meet tomorrow
How will I know you in a crowded bar?
Could you wear a picture of your avatar
On your shirt? But wait! Can we meet another day?
I fear I have forgotten how to say
The kinds of things that real friends share,
And could catch a chill – all that fresh air!
So, second thoughts, well, it’s great to see you here.
I Like your post, Like me too if you still care.
Love Brigitte.
