The Moving Cabal

When he comes
the cabal forms with him.
And she becomes
the joint enemy. Comfort
and companionship
wins. Nobody is lonely.
When she comes
the cabal forms with her
and he becomes the joint
enemy. It is comforting
to have a companion in critique.
And me. Even when I'm with you,
the cabal forms along the lines
of you and others. It's
a form of friendship
to make me a stranger.
