you’ll never be more than an acquaintance
because i won’t mediate with a substance
what if all you had were sober words
i know you’ve been taught to lean on the drink in your hand
i know you’ve been taught to lean on the smoke in your lungs
it’s no excuse to be unaccountable
it’s no excuse for your blurred sense of boundaries
it’s no excuse for coerced relations
it’s no excuse for your apathy
you’re no longer a threat to those who enslave you
just to the ones who love you
you’ll never be more than an acquaintance
because i won’t mediate with a substance
what if all you had were sober words
