Reunion

And they sat there

Like rebellious youngsters

Trying to feel rebellious

Once again

Smoking pot

Drinking reeking rum

Swaying their heads to Nusrat

Hoping to capture that moment...

When they bought that last bottle of the cheapest drink there was

With all their monies put together

Begging the owner of the cheap bar

To let them drink and shack there till morn

The lovers among them stole out

To make love beneath docked fish boats on the beach

While friends in vicinity kept guard

For them to consummate their most sacred act

The smoke rose today

And the alcohol shimmered in the glass

Here and there, they all had grayed a little

And they sat

In one of the most expensive suites

In one of the most expensive hotels

In one of the most expensive cities

Pretending they were still rebels

Just that... Now they had only themselves

To rebel against.
