I don’t know
How
I did it before
Just satisfied
As I am
As I was
Satisfied with just daydreaming
Just seeing
Hearing a voice
Never wanting anything more
But still
Someone
Would want me
Though I did not know
What to do with anyone
But because life
Was so natural
Persistent
Then
That I would not feel alone
I need to go
Back
To that
Natural feeling
In my own world
Now that I’m digging into my archives of Missed Connections poems, I’m realizing just how OLD some of the pieces are! I didn’t record the dates of when the piece appeared on its forum, but this Brooklyn poem was very close to the final page of my oldest Word document. I’m thinking it dates to the summer of 2012.
