Boo

Out of the tangled ancient
History of humanity,
With my distant ancestors
And your distant ancestors
Here we are,
Me and you,
Here in this modern place.
We talk of the days
And the days,
And the days
of mundane things,
And eventually we talk
Of the meaningful things.
The things that are really important
To us.
Right now.
Did you read that poem?
Did read that short story by that guy
who's is my favorite writer?
Did you see that movie?
Did you write that story
Did you write that poem?
Did you do that thing?
Did I mention,
How much I like talking to you?
And listening to you,
You with your distant ancestors,
And me with my distant ancestors,
Here and now,
In this modern place.
