best friends

there used
to be a handful of best
friends.

some men
some women.

people that your best
interests at heart
as you do theirs.

years can go by without 
speaking
and yet
the love never wanes.

some are gone now.
passed away,
some still around but

have fallen from that elite
status.

because of politics
and a variety of other annoying
topics.

i can count a few
on one hand now.
some don't even know  they
are best

friends with me.
which makes it safe, keeps
them around

a  lot longer.
