Hello stranger

I see you on my buddy list.
I know you have a family - and close friends
Tucked somewhere.
But if we ever meet
What will we ever talk about
Beyond the banalities?
Would I ever break
A lunch date
The morning I hear of your death?
Would you?
Are you a business-card
I hoard then?
A scratch-a-back coupon?
Or a broken thread from
The cluttered tapestry of my past
I cannot let go? 
The day before my birthday
I change the date
To not receive your wish.
To not be burdened
With these ceremonies.
To not receive these gratuitous 
Kindness of strangers.
