what is a friend w/o work?

Too many relationships - TOO DEMANDING.
Too self-commanding. We've got too many relationships
it's too DEMANDING
it's too DEMANDING
keeping - up - with all - our - friends

in the Way that We feel they deserve


so we let them all fall...by the wayside
and we hope that everyone can understand
or at least the people that matter
can understand
that we care about them too much
TOO MUCH!
Too Much!
to ENGAGE in less than meaningful conversation
(and this apparently takes a lot of energy) (and time)
(and which has to be built up to over long periods of time)
(and sometimes its easier if we randomly encounter each other and recall the thing that we're supposed to be doing at the moment at that time at that very moment in time)


Or are we just...anti-social? (and just...don't know it??)

"Relationships take work" and we don't want to work
but
FRIENDSHIPS ARE PLAY AND We JUST WANT TO PLAY!

"Lovers need work" and we don't want to work
but
FRIENDSHIPS ARE FUN AND We JUST WANT SOME FUN!

but some
Friendships ARE work, though perhaps they should not be...

So what is a friend without work?
Can we actively engage one another at all times?
Or is Time itself the trouble?...a dandelion may explode just THEN! when/during/after we try to seize it in our hands.


But relationships do take trust. SO how do you get there...
