.

A single moment

in a lonely life

when 1 meets 1

and does equal 2.

The outside world

watches on in wonder

but their beliefs

are just not true.

And 1 knows

what 1 knows

but speculate still

the others do.

Friendship is sweeter

and just as rich

so 1 and 1 laugh;

others haven’t got a clue.
