let's talk

I haven't heard from
Mary in some time. no cards,
no letters,
no calls.
no updates on her new
digs in Miami.
at ninety five any day
could be her
last day.
I need to call her.
talk
the trash we used
to talk.
say remember when.
say all the things we
always say.
nothing's new, nothing's
changed.
let's keep it that way.
