Being Friends with Boys
Having male companions has its perks
when you're sixteen.
Everybody had crushes on the group's only girl
but it was usually ignored.
We could lend anything to each other:
MTG decks, sci-fi comics
fantasy novels and D20s
I was screwed if I ever needed
a tampon, or a place to crash.
It doesn't really matter-
we all stopped being there for each other
in the end.
