Friends
We stand for asparagus
and music as therapy
for a mind of age twenty
and memory of fifty
for the x in sex.
With e for enigma
and loveâs death-like future
we look for unnoticed rabbits and bums
and hope for spontaneity at a midnight keyboard.
With edgy smiles and proprietyâs curse
we despise mundane prose and anything trite
and prefer a good poem to the morning news.
We let the dishes go unwashed, the car ungassed
let the rug gather dust, and the family disgust
while we write little missives
they donât understand.
May we live long and thrive.
