To Friends I’ve Known and Loved
(to @petchary, @greeniejules, Christine Mandell, @sarahrodeo, José Díaz)
To be alone is not an easy thing
I’ve often wondered what life
Would be like with a partner
A boy to spend a life with
Or at least one to spend
Not a life, but at least time.
Or friends in my corner
Of the universe.
Here in this lonely rock
Aptly named “Rockford,”
I, whose words are
The sole weapon used and waged,
Am not alone.
