Adulthood

We say more words when we do drugs
Don’t lob my heart or be absurd
I thought you might be my
Most consistent friend
You know my longest friend
Sort of like a sanctuary
Without the religious parts
Oh, just like one of those
Places you go to laugh eternally
Until your stomach hurts
And they have no order or rules
No effort or strain
For how to go about
Having a good time
Telling us how to live
Following some strict regime
Why did we have to grow up
Up up and away
We’d gotten on so well
Before we became adults
And here I am
Examining my own life
