this april

4 years ago an old friend left his job in burbank
and ventured off to china to teach english

soon after losing communication with him
i too ended up in taiwan teaching english.

this person has always been in my thoughts
ive always wondered about his tracks and wellbeing.

the last time i saw him was 4 years ago
we had a conversation over a pitcher of beer
about what he coined emotional baggage.

this week he told me he is well,
returned a better person, and has moved on.

i was sincerely happy to hear that.
