Modern Friendship

When I asked you a favor,
you shrieked as if I had put
a knife on your foreskin.

Yet, you more than I have
had unfettered access
to the largesse accruing
to the tenure of our friendship.

Our thin, red line of affection
can only stretch so far till
a bee's spittle rends it,
till I call in my chips
and remind you of
much that's taken for granted.

Let's therefore find
our separate paths and smile
at this simulation of a bond, for,
friendship is not an end in itself,
but an expression of vulnerability.
