20.

A Poem by E.J. Michalec

It was the year of misplaced invitations
The year of raised eyebrows and cover charges
The year of “So close, yet so far away”
The year of “sorry, I forgot you were a baby”
The year of “I’m sorry, it’s the law”
The year of pals picking poisons
The year of standing in hallways and scratching at doors
Knowing if I were anywhere else on the map, I just might be social
The year of isolation
Marked by freshly stamped hands
I just wanted to feel something again
