Today I saw my friend Renee

working at Doc Popcorn

and though it took a moment 

for her to see me

when she did

she scaled the gate

distancing the cashiers from the customers

and ran up and hugged me

for at least five minutes

and it shocked me dearly

since it’s been ages 

since someone so rejoiced

due to my mere existence

she asked me of my future

to which I just shrugged

though for hers I cheered

Filmmaking in Florida

and as I toddled off to buy flowers for my hair

I giddily squee-d 

since she is such a darling friend

especially to think I alone am worth such doting

she’s the one who deserves the fanfare
