Cool Friend, Warm Friend;
Easy Does it Friendship
Sometimes the definitions seem less grand.
D. H. Lawrence remarks, “I like him. What
Else is there?” Friendship’s not a big demand.
It doesn’t have to be a great big strut
Of pledges and ancient philosophy.
It’s more, “How Come You Like Me Like You Do?”
(Some people like Savannah, some D.C,)
No need to be the Jesus and John crew
Or Jonathan and David at their best.
It’s enough to find Jack Daniel’s comfort
With your man, enjoy a joke and a jest,
Chill, quiet as a black spaniel’s comfort.
..Friendships are made up of Smith, Brown, and Jones.
Just settle into male warmth, Lazybones.
