the friendship boat

what can be said
from the place
of waking?

two people
are lucky
to be friends
and to make each other's lives
sweeter

for a day
for a year
for eight years


it's all good

and
forever after
isn't better than
not forever after
in spite of what
the fairy tales say

and the wish for something permanent
is deep
deep

and there is something permanent
the good old Universe

and even that
may fade away
and or blow up
some day

oh, well

while we're here,
let's enjoy it

there is only one
forever after:
now

ah
good
