Strangers & Friends

The guavas weren't ripe enough
his ambitions
were surely
the sun too craved
laziness
he never did
through mud filled paths
and fresh papayas
he walked barefoot
geometry boxes pens were not his only friends
but also the fruits
i saw him stand
signal apart
walked up to him on a sunny day
rains forgot monsoon showers
his vision never did stray
i swiped the floors
cleaned the doors
he stood strong as the wind
over years and months
we bonded over
tangy lemons & crafty oranges
life surprises us every moment
as friends become strangers
& strangers become friends
