Asking For A Friend
Going out to meet a friend
to be the ear to their unspooling
coughing up confusions
unpacking problems
unhappy hour
at some pub table
I’m the calm eyes
the easy conversation
pliers to cut the wire
defuse that complicated
emotional bomb
over a couple of drinks
There’ll be no judgement
only sympathy
a gentle steer
of thoughts towards solutions
or mostly
I’ll just listen

and not hear their meaning.
Some one will say blah blah blah.
If that is you, please move on.
It's amazing how words can flip
the switch. You hear me?
