“Lost Connection” by Trevor Witt

Missing
Connection
Lost
Fraying social ties.

One brother moves north.
The other moves south.
Both are struggling economically,
But they try to follow the jobs.
My dreams have died.
But I try to revive them.

I see my cousins a few times per year.
A friend is studying for his PhD in France.
Another friend traveled to Japan to teach English.
One is in Utah, another in Ohio, another in Washington.

In a full room in a cafe, I feel alone.
