fair weather friends

my friend,
Jennie, the eternal optimist,
tells
me, it's not how you
fell down
it's how
you get up.
i want to tell her to shut up
and put
a sock in it,
but i don't.
she's very sensitive.
she's put
bumper stickers all over
her car.
Love, Peace, Coexist,
Ukraine,
Kamala
and Walz.
save the whales,
save
the trees,
no kings,
it takes a village, and my
son
is a drama major.
no oil,
and no meat.
but somehow we're still friends,
as long
as we just talk
about the weather.
