An explanation

Soon after posting the previous poem, I heard from a couple of concerned family members wondering what the heck was going on. Basically the poem is a combined lament, using artistic license, arising from two events in my life. Currently my wife is working in Cambridge, Mass, and has been for many weeks. She's coming back pretty soon but I nevertheless miss her. The other circumstance is that a good friend of mine, who was a sponsee of mine in the A.A. fellowship, has stopped coming to meetings and essentially broken off contact. All at once, the two people who I talked with the most, essentially my two best friends, have absented themselves. This gave rise to that poem, which I felt I needed to share. Still, I'm actually doing well, and I don't want anyone to worry about me. :)
