Crown Royal

by ddscott

Crown Royal made us feel like kings Do you still swallow your courage? Tell me a story. Like the time when nobody was funny, But a fucking riot, all the same. My best friend had a daughter. I think the mom left to be a stripper or something. Four years changes a lot of things. He's not my best friend now. I'm living every day like I just got bad news. Everyone I meet is like "What's wrong? It used to be a novelty when you joked about suicide. Now I don't think you should be driving a car." Like, what did I ever do? Hollow threats are the best I can nudge into a conversation. Unless you know where to get help, don't fucking speak. She doesn't answer her phone anymore. Things got weird After I tried to explain why A Modest Mouse song was about me. Crazy thing is, I don't even believe that. Crazy thing is, I don't even believe anything. Crown Royal makes me feel like the court jester now.
