NOTE FROM THE MISSED CONNECTIONS CHIEF BOTTLE FINDER:
The Western MA MC is one of my favorite low volume feeds – maybe it’s because of all the colleges or the left-of-center / hippie vibe – but I always manage to find a piece that resonates with me. With this missive of regret, I can image the writer walking through a late night grocery store, aisles quiet, and thinking about the times spent shopping together. If only relationships were as simple as picking out breakfast cereals…

Missed Connections in Western Massachusetts
Sometimes, when I’m walking alone, I look around to see if anybody’s watching.
And if the coast is clear, I reach out and pretend I’m holding your hand.

given my high level of womanizing since we split,
but it’s true.
