A predicament no more

around a chrome lit round table they sat
those six supposed friends
three ordered water and the other three latte
& each wondered about another one of them if they were the right blend

no doubt they were there for each other when needed
when the harsh world in all its niceness receeded.
they put up with each others insecurities and eccentricity
but also bore the dagger of their venomous words filled with toxicity

four years later a day came for the birds to leave their nests
out into the world they ventured to find their best.
so they moved out to other cities and they said ''life goes on''
but guess, of all their achievements, what they missed the most
when they reached their lonely apartment tired and drawn

yes apparently it was those wonderful college days
filled with lunches, movies and plays
of gossip feminism the marine drive and sleppovers
or crooning everything from 'the beatles' to 'crimson and clover'

hopefully years later they will all meet again
on a gloomy sunday complete with the wind and rain
they will definetly have one less thing to wonder about
if the six of them, those supposed friends
were the right blend
