A quiet part of me knew all along
that anyone who lives long enough,
and remains in good physical health
will outlive all their old friendships,
and often hear words that used to carry
some depth of meaning shallow out
into thoughtless repetition.
What does that quiet part of me
have to say now the moment has arrived
when all human connection lacks substance?
Nothing much with me having nobody to say it
to in person, though I can say that nothing here, online.
