Roommate Poem by bob barci

Roommate



Hello roommate.
My name is me.
I'm a person just like you
and I have feelings just like you do.
Together let's build a bridge
to find each other.
The bridge will be weak at first,
but in time will be strong.
Talk to me and I'll talk back.
Talking, listening, watching.
I believe that's our bridge.
Let's do it now.
It doesn't matter what culture we are
just as long as we find each other.
For this situation, I need you
just as much as you need me.
We are roommates and must communicate.
That is the crux of our existence together.
We may not turn out to be the best of roommates,
but at least we can say we tried.
Hello roommate.
My name is me.
I know your name is you.
Let's build a bridge and find an us.


dedicated to Ray Torres, and to all roomies, past, present, and to come.
