friends and yet still a stranger

in casual conversation
my life long
friend,
a democrat and
failed dinner theater
actor
mentioned that he wouldn't
mind
being
the next John Wilkes Booth.
to live in infamy,
or heroic fame,
for what
he might do.
it's strange how you really
don't know
someone, the darkness
that lurks within,
despite the years
behind you.
