Have you ever had a friend who you thoroughly enjoyed You dreamed together...chuckled together... And shared exciting movie plots together too Have you ever had to part for a while, but knew that it was only temporary Just a brief lapse of constant communication What is a heart to do Does the heart sit and ponder and wonder what the other is up to Or does the other send a warm hello every now and again and say "I am alive and well...and I miss you!" Awkwardness and me do not go hand in hand I thought absence made the heart grow stronger I simply don't understand I think I will pack my bags and go hide in the sand for a while When this hurricane passes over then I will go move to another planet Space flights are under ten thousand dollars they say Or maybe I will just change my name and borrow a dead person's identity Or maybe I could move to Europe and become a not-so-famous writer Just like Ernest Hemingway I don't do awkwardness very well And in this case "absence does not make the heart grow stronger" I am not a dentist--I do not like pulling teeth The End. g.rix 1-14-15 rant poetry*
