am i stranger than fiction
or too much of a stranger to alleviate her friction
that i'm a little less innocent than a baby in a manger
when it comes to re-arranging my diction
to improve her depiction
that i'm a guy worth trusting
it goes without saying that her friendship's easily worth lusting after
but lately my funnybone's been rusting
without her silent laughter
keeping me dry enough to grin
while i write our Boston Marathon
with no apparent way to know if i'm running our marathon
as a friend
or not
love,
howard
