To Harvey, For His Birthday

A stranger turned into a friend,
You brighten my mornings no end.
It’s great to say hi
To a really nice guy
On whose greeting I’ve come to depend.

This pandemic has seemed to erase
Interactions we used to embrace
But at least we can chat
And I’m grateful for that,
Though one day, maybe I’ll see your face!


*I see Harvey on my early morning walks in the city.
We met during the pandemic and are both masked, of course...

I am thrilled you have met a half-face-less man during a pandemic. "This pandemic has seemed to erase Interactions we used to embrace" Well done Ilene.
