In Your Company Poem by RIC BASTASA

in your company
there is always this laughter
and we know what is found
in every story
in every word
in every syllable even before it is uttered

it is this familiarity with our wits
and humors that keep as together
in the same room

we laugh about almost everything
and yet come to think of it

you are in texas and she is in chicago
and i am in philippines...

it is this circle of friendship...yes, we are in it now
now let us start another story,

are you there?
