Dont Think of Me

Don't talk to me
I'm only your neighbor
You stay in your house
I'll stay in mine

Don't look me in the eye
I don't want to see you
Or even look in your direction
I'll rush by

Don't bother knocking
On my door
If I need to talk to you
I'll send you a text

Don't think of me
You are not in my world
I only want to exist
Electronically

Caren Krutsinger Date: 3/20/2020 10:55:00 PM It is amazing to me how little we speak to each other with voices now. Preferring to tap words out onto electronic devices. Well done, timely. Login to Reply Timothy Mcguire Date: 3/24/2020 10:26:00 AM So true Caren thank you

Jennifer Proxenos Date: 3/17/2020 12:32:00 PM We have new neighbors and they are really good company and fun. My husband and I went out and did stock buying, we bought a lot but please dear God this virus finishes before our stocks do! We are going to go into close down at home now.
