Thrown Together

I
doubt
that
you
wanted
us
to
be
common
friends
with
each
other
more
likely
you
worked
individually
on
each
of
us
and
when
we
were
thrown
together
because
of
our
love
for
you
there were times
we
could
barely
manage
a
surface
civility
toward
each
other
and
other
times
even
that
was
shattered
and
we
were
left
screaming
at
each
other --
did
any
of
this
help?
Somehow
were
we
touched
at
the
heart-core
never
to
be
as
complacent
again?
We
questioned
all
our
values
but
did
this
change
anything
make
us
better
people?
Forget
enlightenment
who
among
the
friends
of
U.G.
got
enlightened
rather
we
were
stripped
bare
to
see
our
utter
helplessness
and
that
even
surrender
was
not
possible
and
still
we
don't
know
what's
next.
