Friend (1989)

I do not claim adept early poetry, but this is the earliest surviving piece — and perhaps my first. After combing through the archive, we’ll see if anything predating this gem survived the wreckage.

I offer it here again as proof of consistency of impulse over a lifetime. Apparently, at eight or nine years old, I was already contemplating the dynamics of diplomacy.
