It’s funny
how
someone can know you for years,
and in a matter of minutes,
can rewind the clock
to the moment
They are
a Stranger.
“I know how you feel.”
“I lost my cat,”
They say.
“I’m so sorry,” I say.
Of course you know
How I feel.
You changed their litter.
I changed a diaper.
Same thing.
I’m not bitter.
They both like tuna
I guess
it’s time to go fishing
for new friends.
