What's the Harm?

I don’t delete those numbers although

they’re dead, I’ve been told,

those persons, not numbers.  

I thought to call,

once at least, more than one

of them,

but then,

did not.

What if I made that call long due

tonight?

Tomorrow?

Now?

Is it too late now?

Sometimes I think I should give it a go.

What’s the harm?
