Between Friends
Julie Schillinger
Ok
this is sappy and corny
and doesn’t really mean anything
it won’t win an award, make money
or be published in the New Yorker
it’s just poetry between friends
print it out
put it in your desk drawer
a year from now you’ll find it
all yellow and faded
read it and smile to yourself
think of me and feel good
a warm summer memory
from a night of love and affection
and sweet comfort
between friends
