On Friday nights
we make our deals
black hashish from Afghanistan
to dull the blinding colours of work week
growing older
our secret society

No we are not our brother’s keeper
we can only advise him
sister
no need to identify your pharmaceuticals
for without supreme authority
how can we judge?
in some way being just like you

So be careful boy
when jumping off the wagon
not too fast girl
flying over the moon
good luck in the games of life
you’re learning to play
we’ll see you sometime on the other side
having graduated
from our secret society
