Caroline...

We run the streets
Recklessly.
Two girls invincible.
The burn of Southern Comfort
In our tea and down our throats.
We wend our way through the miasma
And the crowd.
Avoiding grabbing hands and catcalls.
We find music and booze for free
Because that's all we can afford.
This is the second time
You've saved me.
"We're in the same boat."
You say, like this
Monumental task is
Nothing to you.
