The People I’d Like to Know
Can someone give me the email of someone I’d like to know?
So I can send them my regards
then watch our effortless correspondence.
Could someone pass on the number of the people I’d like to know?
I can ring them day or night,
always postponing the half hour hang up ritual.
By tomorrow, I’d like a letter on my desk
from a person I’d like to know.
Folded with creases
Opening it like a game of pass the parcel
Written on torn paper
Several notes sweep out and slide
Away from me
The people I’d like to know
Could the person I’d like to know give me a wave when we pass on the street?
I’ll wave back, I promise.
If you want more consider looking elsewhere
for the people you’d like to know.
