Palinode on a Friend
1 min readJul 23, 2017
At first, she was
An intolerable bore.
At first, she thought
Herself above
The likes of me.
At first she looked
As though she smelled
The rankest of odors
As I walked into the room.
At last, she looked
As though I might
Be interesting.
At last, she thought
She might be wrong.
At last, she is
The greatest friend
That I could
Ever know.
