However important you may believe
It to be;
I really don’t want
The news you have.
But, only too sadly
Your whole body,
Demeanour
Broadcast it:
You have burned
The bridges we knew;
Say to Hell with it and
Two fingers to those
Who don’t agree.
Is it O.K.
My long-time friend,
If I worry –
Just a little –
For you?
