Each culture has its own new possibilities of self-expression which arise, ripen, decay and never return.

Kings of Convenience

If you wanna be my friend
You want us to get along
Please, do not expect me to
Wrap it up and keep it there

The observation that I am doing could
Easily be understood
As cynical demeanor
But one of us misread

And what do you know?
It happened again

A friend is not a means
You utilize to get somewhere
Somehow I didn't notice
Friendship, it is an end

What do you know?
It happened again

How come no one told me
All throughout history
The loneliest people
Were the ones who always spoke the truth?

The ones who made a difference
By withstanding the indifference
I guess it's up to me now
Should I take that risk or just smile?

What do you know?
It happened again
What do you know?

Grace
by Linda Pastan

When the young professor folded
his hands at dinner and spoke to God
about my safe arrival
through the snow, thanking Him also
for the food we were about to eat,
it was in the tone of voice I use
to speak to friends when I call
and get their answering machines,
chatting about this and that
in a casual voice,
picturing them listening
but too busy to pick up the phone,
or out taking care of important
business somewhere else.
The next day, flying home
through a windy
and overwhelming sky, I knew
I envied his rapport with God
and hoped his prayers
would keep my plane aloft.

The best way to get the right answer on the internet is not to ask a question; it's to post the wrong answer.
