the circle is getting smaller

my social
circle is decreasing with
each
passing day,
each
new death
that appears on
the back page
of the metro section.
she's gone,
he's gone too.
and good Lord,
down goes
Sally Mae Mcgillicuddy,
from my old high school.
so now it's down
to the mailman,
and my barista,
the garage mechanic,
and you.
