Friends

If I wanted 
you to disappear 
I would’ve made 
you a genie
one upon which 
to happily wish
and then watch
but not genie
did I make 
but rather man
made full of 
hope and dream 
of playful desire
and even despair 
plump with humility 
humanity and humor 
my own whom
never a whomever 
so wherever you 
have gone come 
back to me 
my favorite friend 
your fellow friend 
is awaiting you
