Friendship
Friendship - meaning Summary
Friendship as Instruction
This brief, wry poem presents a playful and ironic claim that friendship can be made permanent by commanding someone and having them obey. In plain, childlike language it compresses a larger observation about power and reciprocity in relationships: treating friendship as unilateral control is humorous but also unsettling. The poem invites readers to notice how obedience substitutes for mutual care and to question what keeps friendships genuine.
