We weren't ally movies, cigarette people,
gawking at a late night phone call.
Humbled at cathedral train stops, twitching for their next fix.
We weren't tidy enzymes, dieting hitchhikers,
Einstein drag queens and old boyfriend photographs,
generation universities, alcoholic planners, *** breath.
We weren't Godly student coffee drinkers,
mother machines abdominal on speed,
delighted in poverty and splendor paperwork,
We weren't high-school bathroom ***,
***** sheets, glamorous handcuff hunger,
waxy TODAY show hosts,
We weren't pompom mutts,
Underclass DNA and angsty pin-ups,
We weren't back hand world, no money,
Clinical musicians, and upper East side Jesus,
Harvard waitresses and empty notebooks,
poets on crank and speed,
We were All ******* Up
