People I Once Knew



it starts so late

it always ends early.





Do you remember the last time you cried?
How good did it feel to
let yourself be free
of restraint
for one brief
sob filled moment?




Neither Good Nor Bad (it just is)
We have gotten older inadvertently.

Seeing pictures of you now

it becomes easy to see.

There is a mutual past,

sitting there, waiting

further down the road,

hoping we'll come back

for a visit.

Those moments

served us best

in getting us here.

We have no need

for each other any longer.

The next time I see you

in the city,

we'll say hello

like two strangers

passing in the street.
