San Francisco Poem

By Marijke McKinney

They all left
Moved away and I couldn’t go
They all left
Moved away and I couldn’t go

College and dorms
Lonesome me in my little home
Best friend so far away
Doing coke with people I don’t know
I’d hate them if I got close
Best friend so far away
Doing coke with people I don’t know
I cried when I found out
But you couldn’t see over the phone
I cried when I found out
But you couldn’t see over the phone

I got a boyfriend
To help pass the time
Broke up and now
He’s another one to miss
Added to the list

Step by step
Injection by Injection
Watch your friends pedal
Going fast has lost all it’s fun in a dead sun
