my friends

in the jungle,
quick sand
is everywhere,
and it's just
by luck that
you don't mis
step and slide
in, to be slowly
sucked under and
soon to drown
in the dry wet
muck where you
once believed it
was all safe
ground. but
fortunately you
have nine
hundred and ninety
nine friends
on facebook,
and surely one
of them is bound
to stroll by
before you're dead
and toss you
a strand of
jungle vine.
