little black box

a little black box

plus a few thousand miles

puts space between us

as a network

of beautiful people

closes the gap.

I’d say

serendipity

brought us together.

what are the chances

that we are such close friends?

what odds

were defied

to bring us together?

in all honesty

I was scared

by expectations

mine

and yours

and yet

here we are.

I feel

l feel I know you

not as well as some

but better than most.

what do I know?

I know

that you care

I know

that people are everything

I know

that you have a beautiful

beautiful soul

and I know

that you are

a lot

like

me.

two thousand forty one miles between us,

and a limited

hollow

little black box

that is anything

but empty.
