When the long day ends, I sit with friends,
contemplating lifes great meaning.
Eyes get bleary, words turn weary,
conversation verbally demeaning.

Really dear, my friends that are here,
never would disagree with me.
I could say that, the world is flat,
and they would totally agree.

Now I must confess, and digress,
my friends are commercially grown,
Cigarettes by the pack, rich coffee black,
best friends I’ve ever known.

Smoke rings curl, above me swirl,
and lead me to great aspirations.
Coffee flows, through my veins goes,
my warm, liquid inspirations.

Bad habit or not, I like it a lot,
although some would disagree.
Bad for my health, sneaky stealth,
will one day sneak up and bite me.

"Of all the words of tongue or pen, the saddest of these, it might have been"
John Greenleaf Whittier

	from childhood's hour I have not been as others were-I have not seen as others saw-I could not bring my passions from a common spring from the same sourse I have not taken my sorrow: I could not awaken my heart to joy at the same tone and all I loved I loved alone.

Seems we share mutual friends, Dreamcatcher - and a mutual end Wolf
