Address Book
by V. Blakeopened an old address book today.
found numbers for dead relatives
and failed relationships.
half disconnected;
half belonging to strangers by now.
most of these places
don't even exist anymore
and some entries
made better memories
than friends.
funny how much
we think
we know. 12/19/2011 Author's Note: I used to write stuff.
