Dear Subscriber:
Each week we examine a theme from a variety of points of
view. The theme for this week is friendship.
Today’s poem is about the mutual need for others in order to
be oneself.
I welcome comments on my poems at

Yours,
Nick Gordon
Friends are prisoners of expectation,
Reflected in the mirror of their need.
Instead of being happy on their own,
Each knows that one cannot survive alone,
Nor think unless another plants the seed.
Dependent all for selfhood on relation,
So to be fed, must one the other feed.
