Tour guides
Flight attendants
Life coaching
As therapy
Drinking
In a beer garden
Under giant umbrellas
In the rain
Buying a round
Group hugs,
Appointment television
Where did it go?
Eating comfort food
In the dark
Strangers meeting
On a train
Oversharing,
Developing a personal
History
Disappearing
Stealing a march
Trend setting
As a byproduct
Of parsimony
The cultivation of
Good husbandry
A need
To be seen as different
Or not at all.
Following a leader
Is strangely paradoxical
When as a collective
We struggle to arrive
At a conclusion
In good order,
And are all
As lost
As one another.
