We haven't come too far
from those drunken nights
on the floor, eating gummy bears
infused with *****
or from stickering everything in the kitchen
so we know what names to call the appliances
Not too far
from those times spent
lounging around the bedroom
a dozen of us, head to foot
and everyone toeing
the border between
honesty and vulgarity
Some hung like a tapestry on the wall
and some sat watching ****
in the corner
while the rest passed a bottle around
and smoked with the window
constantly open
We haven't come too far
from the late night
liquor runs
or from smuggling bottles
out under our shirts
after-hours
Or from smuggling flasks
in on free pool night
when we were too broke
for ***** or fun
We haven't come too far
from spilling drinks
by the jukebox
Or going out back for a smoke
Not too far from
cleaning up the house
after a party
and throwing another one
to celebrate
