None For The Road
if you won’t trust
someone who won’t drink
with you
then you’ll never trust me
if all your close friends
smoke up with you
we’ll never be close friends
if you only respect
someone who’ll do a line with you
shoot up with you
share a bowl with you
then I have no role in your life
we’ll never bond
if only self-destructive writers
are real writers
then I’ll always be a fake
a wanna-be
who really doesn’t warrant
your attention
I’m just one of those shallow dilettantes
a hanger on
without the guts
the stamina
to deal with life through
a haze of booze drugs
you are clearly better off with me
so don’t take it personally
when I decline to indulge
for the sake of group acceptance
I’d rather be unacceptable
than drown in conformity
