Drinking the sun down with somewhat strangers In the new city I´m calling home Baring my teeth like my life´s in danger Simply destroying my cheek muscles Apparently everyone´s going to Susie´s
I´m not exactly sure who that is I was thinking she´s an old friend of Whitney´s But she´s a bar, not a person
I pull out my phone and pretend To occupy myself with something Cast in the dulcet glow I crawl into my palm
The table shakes beneath the gestures and laughter As old friends reminisce and catch up "Did you hear so and so had such and such happen?" I nod along like I know them all I think a bit about the so and so´s I know And how vacant their names would sound in here Some of them would sound like complete fabrications
Who the hell names their kid something so weird?
I use the restroom In only the most literal sense, and I take my cleansing breath In the filthiest room around
