Out of Touch

This time of year reminds me

That I’m somehow out of touch

With old buddies or acquaintances

I once liked very much:

 

The friends from work, the college crew,

The couples met on tour;

The step class crowd, my tennis pals,

The brand-new mommies corps.

 

Some moved away or else outgrew

The reason for our link,

But mostly life got in the way

And bonds began to shrink.

 

Then poof! You realize it’s been months

Which soon turns into years,

For with the flow of time, the past

Drifts by and disappears.
