You want to know how I've been.
Fine, thank you, and you?
If I thought you were listening,
I might say more.
A dear friend was tragically killed,
and another is battling cancer.
A train overturned near my home.
The other day I received an award.
My children are practically grown.
But life is short, and so is
your span of attention.
How have I been?
I won't tell you, now,
that I still think of you too often.
I thought I had no pride, but
you nicked mine.
You want to know how I've been.
Fine, thank you, and you?
