I know you don’t
wanna meet
your idolsgrim and beaten
from years too loudan uneven familiarity
with the stagefeigning memories
brought by you
in excited conversation
always hurried
by that
wandering
eyesomething better
lingers
behind
where you can’t seean old friend
a fresh drink
a shotface first into toilets
when you’re gone
encouraged by
ravaged friends
from the same
old road
they’ll be riding down
tomorrowsometimes that lack
of conversation’s
all they wantthe stillness
everything you miss
when you dreamtoo big.
