I heard you knocking
at our cellar door
shakey made a run to New York
and he had scored
and you were desperate
how did you know?
acceptance proceeds at
its own pace
perception is constantly
a step behind
a step behind
the bottle,
empty.
friday evening.
the needle,
empty.
thursday night.
it was a secret
until it wasn’t
the neighborhood kids didn’t hear our warnings
they were simply kids
tired of warnings
tired of fighting
tired of trying
some survived
some were revived
and some of you died
