No Friends

It's sort of amazing.  
The fact that I have no social network.
Always thought myself social; is it the city?
Even The Red Hot Chilly Peppers had depressed friends while I haven't that.
One moved  away, another I told I'd kill when he looked down his nose at me; one disconnected and Christine got married.
So peculiar but it can't solely  be  	 
 me.
 Tethered  ,  to machines, the fact    is I'm  with robot while the whole world dreams.
Never won a superlative, but I played sports.
I talk to many even   though  there were parties  when I wandered off.
I learned to play and sing, I read about  one or another thing, and not just to keep it to myself.
Then why is it I'm sitting here, so tempted against all odds to take the last step?
 Finish the job and turn in the phone. erase the emails and become uncle Joe?
To  walk solo like Tom Hanks  in  Big; in a crowd behind a shroud.
The irony of it all is  how it ends.  In  the biggest of cities     without  any friends.  …
