That Guy, You Know

It is an odd thing

The passing of an acquaintance

Someone about whom

You know intimate details of the everyday

Maybe what colour ink they always used

On postcards

During holiday times

But they left you with no knowledge

Of them that passed superficial

Their now vanished hopes and dreams

For certain, you will see

What colour they wear in the casket.



Perhaps the best way to love thy neighbour

Is not to know them that well.
