I didn't write this, but I think sometimes it's the truest thing I've read in ages.
Many who say friend,
friend, clutch their balls like prayers
for fear something of themselves
may break loose and get away
many who mumble love,
love, keep an eye fixed for the fire
ladder, the exit hatch and at the first
sign of trouble do not hang around to chat.
many who talk of community
called the real estate agent last night
and the papers are drawn up to sell their land
to a nuclear power plant that shows dirty movies.
Don't count your friends by their buttons
until you have pushed them a few times.
