NEW FRIENDS
(Angola, April 1996)
New friends.. old friends..
hard to control friends..
Friends of the heart
Friends of the sand..
Friends who have become hard
to understand..
Some friends serve a need...
(Even if it is just for a moment)
While others exist
for continuous enjoyment..
But whatever their status,
The evidence is clear
That each one of us
Has made a new friend here.
