I woke up and found my friend far away as I ponder what a friend is and how soon can we all Skype if it really matters when you come to visit will I have gone swallowed your abandoned names and words as you pull upon my own discarded pages and we miss us as we long to be each other be ourselves in muscled trueness Sure the other's place will round our arms with the strength we lack walking new streets exercising our tongues on the ancient, baby green phrases watch our skin contract as we learn to deftly act and somersault through agate hoops mine for yours yours for mine we love to change traditions

I woke up and found my friend far away as I ponder what a friend is and how soon can we all Skype if it really matters when you come to visit will I have gone swallowed your abandoned names and words as you pull upon my own discarded pages and we miss us as we long to be each other be ourselves in muscled trueness Sure the other's place will round our arms with the strength we lack walking new streets exercising our tongues on the ancient, baby green phrases watch our skin contract as we learn to deftly act and somersault through agate hoops mine for yours yours for mine we love to change traditions
My best friend and I, a Trinidadian who wants to move to America, an American who wants to move to Trinidad. Both believing only then can they be their strongest, complete selves
