To the 71,735

To the 71,735. I wish you were not a number. (I want to know your names. Like we passed in the hallway, exchanging notes.) It's hard to imagine so many fingertips grazing, slipping away, Without so much as a goodbye.

[Note: The 71,735 are now 175,000...and counting...

and counting...]
