That’s an interesting story, my shrink says.

But here’s a task I have for you.

If you haven’t seen someone in three thousand days,

What would you say, this friendship to renew?

 

Forlorn letters are boring,

Phone chats are not my calling.

Skype and Zoom are soaring,

But like tweets, they are just appalling.

 

Short terse texts are best.

It’s just a status scoping.

Friendship waters I can test,

With a simple “How’s it going?”
