When We Were Young

When we`re young When you are young, say, twenty-five you, say, things like I hope not to be old not meet girls have sex, with a group of friends. we didn`t have any, sitting drinking There used to be five of us we were at the top of the world death was so far away. Then the group shrank, one becomes a Jehovah witness, one became a drifter two got married I was drinking alone and somehow live was no longer glorious. They are all dead now, but for some reason or as punishment I lived on, although in another country. Yet, I have no religious hang up, I believe that in death.
