Here's to estranged friends
The holidays left a hole in my wallet and a estranged friendship. I’m speaking of my dear friend Jorge who has gone missing since December. Michael, on the other hand, reappeared and even though I’m way out of the sentimental arena for now a very long time, I have thought of Claudia and Maria on and off. I’ve read porn and I’ve written plenty, I’ve worked these past seven days straight, and of course tomorrow there’s always plenty to do. And by tomorrow, I don’t speak hypothetically, I mean tomorrow within a few hours. I won’t give up my dear friends, even though like Melody, they all have busy lives and rarely show. But whenever they do, I’ll be there to cherish their company and celebrate the great fortune of still having someone to call a friend.
