Yesterday
I walked to
The familiar
Open space

At the beginning
Of the trail

The birds flying
Around me

I thought to myself
What it would be like
To meet the Yeti here

To enjoy the berries
He enjoys
And to talk with him

He knows what it
Is like to live life alone
And so do I

There is peace there
In nature
Amongst the trees

And everyone always asks
How everyone is
But no one knows
How anyone else is

We just keep saying,
"How are you?"A
And that's good
It's good to be polite

I just say "good"
Or "pretty well"
But one could never know
How I am

I'll tell you how I am
And what I feel
At the dentist

There is the most beautiful
And caring receptionist
Melissa is her name

And I wish I could spend
Thanksgiving with her
To spend time with her
And just have a good time

And give her a hug
She has the most loving smile
I think I have ever seen

So much so that I am
Taken aback
Even when I look at her

Well I had a friendly conversation
With her
And that will have
To suffice

The beautiful women
Come and go

There is no female friend
That's fine

What we desire
We often do not get
And that is okay

I'll just go
On a hike
Into the mountains

I don't care
About meeting
Any female friends

I won't be here
For Thanksgiving

Walking through an
Empty world
Full of emptiness

Thinking one day
That someone
Might return
The love

That I have
Given to just
About everyone
I have ever met in life

And so I go to the gym
And then to the mountains
It's just another day

Remember
Everything can change
In an instant

Life will become hard
Very hard in America

I hope someone
Out there
Thinks this is
A good poem

Or good thoughts

Not really a poem I guess
