I looked to see how you died.
We once were similar.
Knew people,
moved in circles.
Then you died
and became very different.
And I,
no longer wishing
to be similar,
looked to see how.

I was trying to post from an Android, thank you. Your advice worked perfectly.

I only meant to say that I'm honored to have had my little piece chosen.

This is great. It's something I've been wrestling with for over three years now. My therapist might think I had written it were they to read it, but then that's the beauty of something that speaks a universal truth in fresh and clever ways. Thank you.

Ciao Will,

You're clearly masterful at saying much in few words. Broad, yet so specific. Well done.
