A FRIEND

A FRIEND

AFTER ALL THE DRUDGERIES OF THE WORLD
I WANTED TO SEE A FACE
AFTER ALL THE HARANGUESES OF THE WORLD
I WANTED TO SEE A FACE

WITH WHOM I CAN BE MYSELF
WITH WHOM I AM NO MORE PUPPET OF A WORLD
I TRIED TOO CATCH A GLIMPSE OF THE FACE
I MISSED THE MARK
I WAS THERE IN THE SKY;
INSULATED WITH A SPIDERWEBS OF FAILURES.
I GOT A BOLT FROM THE BLUE
I TURNED,
AND HAD FOGGY GLIMPSES OF A SPY
THE ADOLESCENT GAVE ME A SENSE OF DÉJÀ VU

U TURNED THE FACE
AND THE FRAGRANCE OF FRIENDSHIP WAS THERE IN THE AIR
