As we grew up
We drank the same water
From mud puddles
And enjoyed breathing the fresh mountain air
From smoke stacks
We were told the same lies
growing up
Gifted the same gifts
growing up
held by the same women
throwing up
We crashed the same car
In a ticking time bomb style moment
Recklessly
Driving
Cars
Is
What
We
Did
Best
As our bones shook and rattled the walls.
