We were young,
wide-eyed and pure.
Untrained by hegemony with
flippant causes and reasoning.
Smoking cigarettes in the park
marveling at the sky zoo.
Smoking weed in our old tree houses
laughing at the perceived irony.
Unchained and wistful
still measuring the marks on the door frame.
Shouting over the radio and
memorizing Marxist paradigms.
Sipping on coffee in rebellion I don't see the link to rebellion in coffee, is it spiked with whiskey or something
for late night Cinemax.
Cutting class for a parking lot quickie I lol'd at this[b/]
as friends pondered existence.
Drinking dad's good bottles
because some nights are worth a whipping.
We simply were
and we will be. [b]good four lines leading up to ending

Until the next generation invents sex,
and repeats our own repeated mistakes bad ending (imo)
If you could end it better I think it would be great. If there is a statement to be made about all this adolescent experience I think this is where it ought to be. Overall the poem hit home for me though, just didn't have that crisp ending it deserves.
