Everybody's Friend
He tried so hard to be
everybody’s friend, agreed
with everything we said.
Some of us liked him,
others were indifferent,
some of us mocked him.
He was from a small town,
a freshman at a big school.
He echoed what we said
before we finished saying it.
There was nothing we could do
to find out what he never said.
