ME & JACK. by R.M. Engelhardt



Met in college

Me & Jack
Got drunk &
Punched trees

Me & Jack
Dressed up like the Joker
For Halloween

Me & Jack
Were never that lucky
In love

Me & Jack
Liked to read

Me & Jack
Back in the day
Sat outside in the moonlight
Writing poems until
The daylight came

Until of course
A few years ago
When I met Scotch

But occasionally
Every now & then
I'll still do coke
With Jack

Which is nice
