The Friend

My love invited me to go with her
to visit a friend.
I went.
Short visit, but,
we were ready to leave,
Now my fingers trip
over the keys and I'm hitting
backspace
most often.
My brain echoes
when I turn my head...
our friend was never so aggressive
his tense grip leaving a red mark
on my face.
Weird.
But, when I consider it all, I just
can't stop laughing.
I'm typing with only one finger and
the way the words roll out of the auctioneer's mouth
make me feel like I'm on a ferris wheel
going very fast.
