They smoke a lot of cones by the east-side lobby, watch the sun come up in a habit-***-hobby. Sweatshirts line the edge of the high-rise feature, they pass their smoke through kisses, creature-to-creature.
The weeds hang over their heads in a brick-work reminder, search-parties comb the woods, but they couldn't find her. In the murmur of the city, with the street-kids drinking, cooking up their schemes for a new-wave thinking.
The papers plaster words of in-group fear, view the class-war that is coming near. They don't vote for the parties that bring come-downs and blood; they'd write a sing-song for freedom, if only they could.
They exchange love like high-fives, in teenage abandon, now in their mid-twenties, still dreaming of Camden. In the centrifuge of their small-town dissonance, they toast to their cancer; to their short-lived innocence.
