an apartment from the 50's

an apartment from the 50's
and weather in the 90's
has us second guessing
backhandedly confessing
we're not sure about this place
brown skin indian claiment
open mic empty and host desperate
irate subway worker demanding payment
classes are clustered with silent sorts
teachers often seeking favorites
do the reading twelve pages an hour
we'll get this degree done in bits
grass is green and rabits frolic
trash piles in corners here
pizza from before piles in the fridge
been awhile since we've bought a beer
bro culture seems prevalent here
swap your stories and sip your beer
drive downtown to the gay side
things seem a little more queer
uptight pansies on the whole for the town
none of these have been through our fare
we learned to stare down the worst of the town
yep good times from back over there
