Two big guys at the Carnegie
with long hair,
denim pants
and jackets.
One guy goes up to the other
and gives him a hug.
They hold each other for a long minute.
“Hey man, I needed that, “ one says.
“I’ve been in hospital,
a lonely place that place.”
“Yeah,” the other says,
pleased to see his friend.
“But you’re home now.
It’s alright now.”
