I have current friends,
Who fill me with surges of fresh  electricity,
When they strum my heartstrings with their melodies.
I have acquaintances.
Who bother to give me the time of day.
Say hello and be on their way.

I had a lover.
Several in fact.
Each unlike any other.
I have social networking friends,
They listen to me, I listen to them.
Most of them, like me,
Put pen to paper.

I have family.
I'm lucky.
Surreptitiously.
They walk through my world.
Giving me new direction.
And sadly,
They hate poetry.
