my best friend in school

the kid
beside me for ten grades
of school,
my best friend,
would borrow my 
homework,
sit next to me
for the answers
at test time.
he'd tap his finger,
once for yes,
twice for no.
he was too lazy
to study, and he knew
he had me around.
i taught him well.
he's a doctor now.
highly esteemed
with his name 
inscribed
on a very clean 
white coat..
