Ode To Duno My Friend
You made me laugh so hard
maybe the hardest I have ever laughed
When I met you I wondered if we would get along
Seventy-two to my twenty-nine, a big age difference.
I remember the day you told me you were dying
I was crushed; I had just found you, and you would be gone soon
I couldn’t stand it; you were my bestie
You stopped coming to church, so I came to your house
I brought a few little things, but you did not care.
You wanted to see me
I hoped for a miracle
You would have snorted milk out of your nose at your funeral
Your ex-husband came and acted like he was a ringmaster of ceremonies
I hate him too my friend, I do.
