Keep in Touch

I'm very sorry,

But you do not fit

Into the present scheme of things.

(We'll let you know, of course,

Should the situation change.)

Well, thank you,

I understand,

I'll keep in touch.

Touch -

The most immediate sense.

I've touched

A raw nerve,

A transient dream,

An inspirational arc.

I've been touched

By

Wordless grasp,

Encircled sight,

Unconditional love.

I'm proud to be

A square peg,

A misfit,

An unrequited voice.

So I'll keep on

Irritating,

Questioning,

Demanding answers

As the evening falls.
