sometimes friends fade away as they should


THE REST OF IT GOES HERE
Jean Marie
Surprised to see you today
pretendin' friendship with coffee,
and a cool salmon sushi gone bad
kiss on my mouth.
Hey mike?
How ya been mike?
What was it?
Two years ago?
Drunken dance parties,
Led Zeppelin 3,
Tangerine and dry humpin'
Playin' ring around the Gallows pole
in our undies
pukin' off the balcony
laughin' in the mornin'
with shitty omelettes
And no money
Eatin' shrooms at the beach
watchin' the sea turn green
as little elves dance at our feet,
weepin' ecstatic
as radiant snot
dangles from our nostrills
Makin' out by the fire
not givin' a fuck as the UFOs land
and we vowed our love
till love's extinction
your breath on my neck
was like the ocean
and then--
What?
You're movin' to Seattle in two weeks?
Nice.
New job?
Nice.
Give me a buzz if you remember.
We'll get liquored amid strangers
And feign a fuzzy warm goodbye.
