Jeff Connelly Poet I do not know?

Out of Law's Closet

i heard a woman
state how proud
that the state had
finally passed a
bill that wouldn't
allow teens to
buy cigarettes

of course they
made the legal
age twenty one
and of course
history does
repeat itself
as in when

they

changed the
drinking age
to what was
proper and
of course
let's not
think

twenty one seems
to be that age when
suddenly at twenty
you weren't capable
of making an adult
decision so that
means childish

ness allowed
you at seven
teen to sign
up and serve
in whichever
military branch
you couldn't

drink or
now can't
smoke for
but yes oh
god almighty
you can certain
ly and without ID 

die
for
IT
