Describe your life in an alternate universe.
In the whispers of time, I trace your name,
A friendship not yet born, a flickering flame.
I wish I’d known you in days long gone,
Before life’s wear and tear, before the dawn.
I wish I still knew the child in your eyes,
Before the world taught you how to disguise.
The laughter we missed, the stories untold,
A bond we never had, now bittersweet and cold.
But here we are, paths never crossed,
A friendship imagined, forever lost.
Yet I wish I knew you, truly and deep,
In the quiet of night, it’s a wish I keep.

A Best Part of the Pandemic
Got me Not Only Dance Walking
Around the Neighborhood Block
Late at Night
Yet Most Every
Day in the Morning
As Caves With Empty
SouLeD Windows Suddenly
Sprouted
Human Yes
Outside of the
Cave into the LiGHT With SMiLes
Dear Miriam Sadly in so many ways
of Humanity A Warning BYE the Makers
of the Newest Version of A Chatbot Yes
Not Unlike the Computer Labs and Engineering
Classes in my College 80’s Days a New Warning
Today A Sign Online and TV The Chat Bot May Soon
Replace
Warmth
Of Real
Flesh and
Blood Human
Relationships
Yes AKA FRiEnDS
Like the Late and still
Present Lament of Loss
in that Old TV Show “Friends”
And Even the Loss of the ‘Third Place’
in the TV Show “Cheers” Where Everyone
KNoWS
Feels and Senses
more Than Just
Your Name Yes
Actually Feeling
Our Human Real Energies
When You LiGHT Up a Room
Out of
the
Lonely
Chat Bot Cave
When We Lose Our Humanity
We Lose Our Social Animal
in Flesh and Blood Ways
There is Already A ‘Mass
Revival of Human Machines’
And Only Potential Room To Escape..:)

I have way TOO MANY people I love and care about – can’t even keep up with them!
If there is a heaven, maybe I’ll get there, and maybe I’ll meet more friends, but for now, I keep myself from going after more by telling myself I need to be there for the ones I already have and am neglecting.
