can't we just be friends now?

can't we just be friends now.

i know

you stabbed me

in the back,

and i stabbed you in the leg,

arms

and chest.

and yes,

we've slandered one another

for years,

and you owe me

money

for reparations,

and you bit off one

of my ears,

but let's put all of that behind

us now,

can't we find some middle

ground,

and be friends again,

what say you,

my aging,

dear?
