For a Friend

Standard

Just another middle class American.

I don’t make friends well.

Everything I do blows up in my face.

Every minute in my life is barrowed time.

Just one more loss somewhere down the line.

But for a friend,

I would push each loss aside

for a friend.

Tribute to Childhood.

Standard

Mischievous escapades

within

a precious room.

A banana breakfast and

coconut milk today.

A remarkable little monkey

runs around naked without a bit of shame.

Inquisitive eyes grow amused by a tangle of cotton sheets.

The perfect afternoon jungle is beckoning

this innocent youth

 to limitless exploration.

Perhaps

tomorrow,

a safari.
