Missed Connections in NYC: Lymph Nodes

Lymph Nodes
Missed Connections in Manhattan

I*:
was the man/boy with a swollen lymph node, black t-shirt, washed jeans and some nikes.
was on your train.
was listening to anything that didn’t remind me of her.

You**:
Found your way into my eyeline, brainline, lifeline.
Might have noticed desperation expressions, mine.
Love life.
Want to take a chance.
Might have to make the first move.

*Denotes a real life male living in New York City who appreciates all the beautiful, inspiring women that live in the city.

**Denotes/represents majority of New York City women.
If you have time for me, I will make time for you.

One Year Ago: Missed Connection in Providence, RI: Blue Eyes

Her Two Cents from the Missed Connections Chief Bottle-Finder:

There’s no shortage of subway missed connections stories and this one grabbed my attention because of the unique line formatting and the catchy repetition of “eyeline, brainline, lifeline.” The Villa Maria photograph by Esther Gibbons is all about “line” and the play between vibrant color and grey tones seems to mirror our poet’s current state of mind.
