no black book

i keep no notes.

no

diary, no journal.

no

record of dates

of birth

or anniversaries.

they mean

little to me.

i have no black

book

no rolodex

upon my desk

that keeps track

of you.

i have no knowledge

of where you

live,

your phone number,

or what you do,

but i'll be here,

if you're ever in trouble,

in case you need

me.
