Lost Friends

No friends. 
Hunger. 
Take the last french fry. 
Again and again. 

A car filled with friends. 
I sat on the bench. 
Give them a wave from a car with tinted windows. 
It’s not them. 

I wanted to go to the mall with them. 
You can’t make them share. 
Not even a piece of gum. 
Nothing. 

Friends go to college. 
I didn’t. 
Friends are like lions. 
They only roar when they want to. 

I could never wear college sweatshirts or hats. 
I never went there. 
Like a car filled with friends, sharing fries. 
I never went there, after all.
