‘Twas it taught
Or tendency
To co adapt
Dependency
To whirl around
And busy thee
In code our ode
Pretendingly
Filled that place
The vacancy
So emptiness
Would no more be
Past in-tense
Then distanced we
Now write I, my

~Your Poet
It’s been close to a year since I’ve looked at any Missed Connections feed (too infuriating to see solicitation postings be allowed while poetry and creative writing were flagged and removed) so I was surprised when Raleigh-Durham’s “Your Poet” inboxed me a link to a piece they had posted. I saved it ASAP because these days, everything seems to have a short shelf life.
