A book said, “You need to have friends.”
And I can intellectually assent.
How pleasant, to have some people
With whom you want to unwind,
And have a good time.
The support system to bring you meals
When you are sick.
But now I wonder if the thing is
Lifetime friends,
Because they will help you see
The truth about yourself
And remind you of your identity.
Or maybe this is why we need communities,
To have some of a variety of those friendships.
The soup-bringers and the truth-tellers.
