clandestine captains

and sometimes

we act reckless

and careless

because maybe

that is how

we truly feel

and how we want to 

treat ourselves. 

we drink and do drugs

we smoke cigarettes

filter and all

we wake in strange houses

party with strange people

ingest strange things.

that make us see things and

feel funny

and that make us laugh uncontrollably 

we smoke things

that provide another reality

we snort things that 

widen our eyes

and we perspire

we laugh, and then touch each other

enjoying the sensations

we drink and 

vomit wherever 

in the house, outside

in a car's interior.

in a dark parking lot 

behind a convenience store

we drive anywhere, all over

just to get away with these things.

we don't tell 

others

about it, too often.

and when we do

we are seen

as

criminals

scum

horrifying things

going nowhere

yet we are

moving

in our minds

our lives. 

and what we do

helps

and expands it all

it is seen clearly

by ourselves. 

we can't remember it all

yet we have seen it all

in ourselves

by ourselves 

or with others.

they know

what to do, how to act

how to speak

what to say, and to whom

and then we acquire 

again, again, again

against.
