An hour or a few minutes
My day is disturbed
By a telephone call.
small talk.
Why not conveniently email
Or write a letter?
Our mutual antics
Lively
Your many adventures
Rich, funny, concerned & observant
Was my friend's brother
A nice introduction, but then:
"I have bad news..."
I imagined the gist
before it was said.
Yet such a lurking threat
we never spoke about.
My friend would have laughed
and snorted.
Personal destruction, beyond mention,
extinguishes further discourse.
