Friendship is Magic
                        after Feng Sun Chen

​​We have little reason to be optimistic but, where there’s blood, 
          there’s hope.
 
Of course we were born to overthrow ourselves.
 
You are my best friend, that I ever had. And you’re not even one!
          Who doesn’t care about the sun?
 
Calm swarms of friends come together again, to help each other 
           forget how to live.
 
Where there are two, or three, there are many.
