Through the end of the year I’ll be digging into the Lovelorn Poets missed connections archive and publishing some of the gems you may not have caught the first time around – enjoy!
Dear Penpal
Missed Connections in Cape Cod / Islands
originally published on October 14
Everything is falling into place.
Within a year I will have a house
and 100 acres
to call home.
I will be waiting for you.
Barn, back shed, farmhouse,
wrap around porch, security.
Devotion.

NOTE FROM THE MISSED CONNECTIONS CHIEF BOTTLE FINDER:
Chances are you’ve shed a tear or two watching the Chipolte commercial featuring Willie’s rendition of “The Scientist.” I’ve never eaten at Chipolte so I can’t say if their whole local/family farms thing is fact or spin, but there is something to be said about walking away from the big $$, mass-produced garbage we’ve surrounded ourselves with and living more authentically. That might be letting the the pigs run over the grass or buying a house with a 100 acres or living someplace where you can walk to everything – the path that leads back to the start is different for each of us.
