It is touching and a source of great comfort
to know you have friends deeply concerned for
your well-being and you know they are prepared
to fully support you when everything is turned
inside out and you've been violently assaulted by
a psychosis-driven psychopath. They will always
be there for you, they tell you there is no 'daylight'
between their support and your dire need. So
closely are you fastened in their thoughts
for your distress is theirs as well. And they
counsel you be calm, exercise the civility of
restraint in the maw of a whirlwind of hate
driven by an existential threat. Sit back, relax
don't react, it will blow over, even as they tut-tut
an excess of violence; your defensive actions
in response to an ultimatum; leave your home
or die. But isn't it such a balm for the soul the
solace of knowing how very deep and utterly
sincere is your friends' desire that you manage
to extricate yourself from the grip of death
with all due courtesy to those planning it?
