Convenient Comrades
<p>Squeezed dry,<br />
The sponge is primed<br />
For absorption.<br />
No water given<br />
Within proximity,<br />
The sponge contorts in<br />
Brittel proportions.</p>
<p>Why is it so difficult<br />
To get a drink?<br />
To engage authentically<br />
Without the fear of what the<br />
Other will think,<br />
Our friendship teeters on<br />
An eroding brink.<br />
You speak of connections<br />
Like you got em in spades,<br />
If your linked so completely<br />
Then why aren’t you kicked back,<br />
Made in the shade?</p>
<p>Reaching out<br />
Only so I can<br />
Reach in.<br />
The type of healing you need<br />
Can’t be performed<br />
On a whim,<br />
Your hangups aren’t<br />
That thin…<br />
Deep waters<br />
Are reserved<br />
For those who’ve<br />
Learned to swim.</p>
