909

my oldest friend
told me
at a bar
I have a drinking problem
but she’s never been like me

well, fuck

she’s always been like me
and I’ve always been like her

how she copes
I don’t know

cause I see the same
morning
she does
and taste the same water
she does

maybe she’s got more spine

I’ve been drinking since ten
and call me to tell me
if you think I’m lying
cause lord knows
I love a good story

if you ever want to split
a bottle of wine
or look at the stars
while killing ourselves
with the same cigarettes

I’ll be around

that Yo La Tengo
song makes me cry
every damn time
