FAMILIAR FRIENDS

He sat at the table
Playing cards with friends
Caring for nothing
Just trying to win

She sat on the couch
Giggling with her BFF's
Caring for nothing
Just trying not to be left

.........Alone

He's pumping iron
At the local gym
Caring for nothing
Just trying to trim

.........excess

She's falling from high
For the thrill of the jump
Caring for nothing
Just trying not to bump

.........sharp edges

He stops to see
Something passed by
Trying to care for nothing
But...that, image...stuck in his eye

She gasped for air
Death but a step away
Trying to care for nothing
But....breath...can not stay

.....someONE is walking

He is compelled to follow
She longs to know who let her live
But the familiar friends call out
And both are back...but with a sieve

.....to find TRUTH again

...................but only when needed.
