It's Different with People We Actually Know

On the other hand, with those we've
Chosen to keep close to us, what matters
Most is who they are. What they have
Done (if anything) is not of much
Concern to us. You've gotten rich?
Well, good for you. You've lost your
Job or wife? Too bad. Sit down.
We'll talk. Let's have a drink.
The details of our lives mean less
Than our both being here.
