43. To Friendship & Thoughts

To Friendship

It's time for the party

and as we begin

let's do a sentimental thing

let's lift our punch 

to the bunch (that's us)

we'll say that our 

friendship is dear and

we'll promise to keep it from

year to year

and

this toast we'll repeat

each time we meet

and now, my friends--let's eat!

Thoughts

I stand in the center

and make the traffic flow

for people whose names 

I don't even know

Who are these people

I never meet

where are they going

and what do they do

when they're not riding

down my street?
