KnowYouThenThem (to Gil)

What is not important 
is to have friends 
for friends unlike you 
causes dissonance and distraction 
and dissonance causes discomfort 
oh it is okay 
to sometimes swim
with the ducks but 
when you are a
swan only other swans
can show you how 
go find your gaggle 
your herd your flock 
even though your intention 
of leading by example 
is too often admirable 
more often than not 
those who are anchors
will never ever float
