Our Friendship

our friendship
is like something solid
yet light and real

free to move
but always there

independent of time and space
but always taking place

defined only
by the shape
of our laughter

NIFE

nothing
is for everyone

2010

I say twenty ten
and my wife cringes

fewer syllables
an easy rhythm
perhaps a bit
pretentious sounding

two thousand ten
my mouth hurts
sounding it all out

I don't know
what do you think?
