lost friends

you hire
a magician
to come to your
house. you tell
him that so
many people
have disappeared,
over time,
so many friends
have taken another
road, one that
you aren't on.
you'd like some
of them back,
just to say hello,
how are you.
please, you tell
him. say a few
magic words, wave
your wand and
pull them gently
from your hat.
