Witnesses

We do have friends, we just don't know how to act,
I have cough syrup ready to go for you, lad, and
I must hope that's as bad as it'll get for you, but,
and I must say, we don't know how to act and we
don't know how to keep the wrong variant out, but
we do have friends, we just don't know when we 
should let them in, but you could do with some
other faces and you could do with your parents
mirrored in someone other than you and themselves,
I mean each other, and lad, it's such a joy to see 
someone mirroring you and what is, for now,
your own gentle, irritated way.
