poem for my facebook friends
by frank wolfe on july 19, 2014
who ponders pencils peaches and peers
and what we wish to share
a man slipping on ice, a woman skating on it
the questions we comment on
which shade of green we would be
who is now in love
which child is ill, or earned their blue belt
why double rainbows and dancing dogs become important
our moments of waking toss us from year to year
computers connect us in modern solitary ways
while we yearn for the warm blanket of
hand heart holds
that brought us comfort when reality was too real
i caringly, needily, desperately, lovingly type to you
my friends, please be well
prepare yourself to hold someone bodily
when the power goes out
when we discover what lies beneath the tenuous technology
when we the breathing are all we have.
