From Dallas
Missed Connections in Manhattan
will we always be
like little kids
running group to group
asking ‘who loves me?’
don’t know who loves me
it’s pathetic
it’s impossible
like girls in stilettos
trying to run
NOTE FROM THE MISSED CONNECTIONS CHIEF BOTTLE FINDER:
I wonder who the “we” refers to in the first line. I’m thinking that maybe it’s about a group of friends or the social scene the writer is involved with (and perhaps growing weary of?) There’s certainly a brief awkward period when mastering high heels – you either nail it with confidence and poise or decide to stay closer to the ground. Elevation isn’t right or wrong, it just is.
