Note from the Missed Connections Chief Bottle Finder:
There’s something very picturesque and sad about this poem. It makes me wonder if the reference is a literal one or if Mars represents a place that is so far away that it may as well be outer space…

Life On Mars
sitting quietly in coffee shops and bodegas
waiting for their paycheck
they’d cover their bodies in dust
and try to remember
if there was life
on mars
