A Maturity Brain Acupuncture Poem
i went to wendy's today
and i purchased an orange cream soda
i then went to my old neighborhood to a particular house
in front of that particular house, i poured out the creamy orange contents
a lawn mower and an old, worn hat was placed there
december 27th, 2018, my oldest friend was diagnosed with cancer
january 2nd, 2019, the angels came
i failed to keep in touch in any way, shape, or form
i pushed his friendship away, choosing the option to be by myself
despite my treatment of him, which he so did not deserve, he still came to knock on my old apartment door to see how i was doing
his friendship was unconditional with a loyalty that i did not deserve
due to my personal choices, not only am i left with multidirectional regrets,
but i also did not get to go to his funeral to his wonderful mother not knowing how to contact me
my choices were my choices, and there are mirrors all around as tough love teachers
i am sorry, First Friend, Rest Easy and suffer and struggle no more
by the way, give a kiss to my Mother....I Miss You Both
