Where In the World Are You?
Missed Connections in Athens
Where In the World Are You?
I’ve been looking in churches and looking in bars
Thought that I saw you in the oncoming cars
It was your reflection cast off by the light
And into the sky of this dark city night
And I thought that I saw you in the tallest of trees
Swayed back and forth in the mid-autumn breeze
When the leaves reddened and left too
I knew then that it wasn’t you
Where in the world are you now?
One Year Ago: Lovelorn Poet in Brooklyn: Love Doesn’t Smell Like Lubricated Condoms Opened By A Stranger
Her Two Cents from the Missed Connections Chief Bottle-Finder:
I had to laugh a little when I went searching for the missed connections poem of the day that was featured a year ago and it was the Frankie Leone piece listed above. In a way, his words fit perfectly with the message from our poet in Athens, GA. We’re all searching for that something called love, and the places we’ll go to find it are as varied as your imagination will allow.
