Simply Strangers Are Poem by Mahfooz Ali

Simply Strangers Are



Strangers are strange that way
calling you by name
then call you names
and with a handshake
tuck you back in...

supplying a place
to hang
that tattered hat
when you thought
the hat stand was gone...

in that way—
it is perfectly strange
how strange but perfectly perfect
simply strangers are... stranger...
