cheers

reflecting in december... getting up and growing older...

it's cold
a cigarette dangles from my lips
i've been drinking
though i've been drunker
and i'm sharing things too personal
too personal for family
you said, "we are a family
these are my brothers"
our
mothers
they're having a tough time
adjusting and giving in
and
letting go
what would they
say now
if they could
see us now
chain-smoking on your balcony
and listing off the reasons why we
left this town?
