Passing

The internet serves as a record of my friends 

Dwindling with each year 

When you realize you’re too warm 

And too lazy to take off your jacket

It’s the feeling of someone walking too close

There are the conversations you overhear 

Not unwelcome, but uncomfortable 

You wonder if you should slow your pace 

but no matter what you’re both in stride
