(new 'john 'person)
(new 'frank 'person)
(new 'at 'preposition)
(new 'work)
(create john (create friend at work) frank)
(create frank (select friend at work) john)

OR

(new 'from 'preposition)
(new '9AM 'time)
(new 'to 'preposition)
(new '5PM 'time)
(create john (create friend at work from 9AM to 5PM) frank)
(create frank (select friend at work from 9AM to 5PM) john)
