Six degrees of separation
Six degrees they say
Separate any two folk
Alive this present day
Tracing back on paper
From me, them all, to you
Teasing out life stories
Linking old with new
Tide of names, no faces
A lifetime in a line
Condensed into a birthday
A job or heinous crime
Copperplate offers secrets
To mould round those you knew
The spiderweb progressing
Does family ties renew
Odd names become the foci
Historic Pannini cards
Ready-offered swapsies
To relate another’s shards
Who knows what they did?
Who knows who they were?
Who knows what they stood for?
The seekers strive to care
