Question: This poem had a sex change operation in Minnesota!. It is still very sad, no!?

*****
Loneliness is measured
in feet…sticking out of the covers, two
Coffee for one

Each pause turns to a reflection, love
She’ll be standing there, sandy hair
Tall and thin

Friends ask how you are, restrained
With a faraway glance, you’ll say ‘Fine’
Each time

Frozen memories, frozen in time
Images of such a bright smile
Lived…and Laughed

We all miss her so, we are with you
Tonight, in the cold, see us there
One hundred feet under the covers…
