My friends are the people?

My friends are the people I drink beer or coffee with play poker fuss over pens with listen to live music and argue passionately about literature and politics with without discussion degenerating with three comments into what online would be called a Flame War. My friends are people I may not be in touch with four weeks or months who will understand and won't mind the great pools of silence that sometimes well up between us when things get too busy of life yanks us in expected directions.
