The Nobles Next Door

 

The Nobles Next Door

 

The guys next door

All had girlfriends

And settled futures.

They were business majors,

Pre-meds or dentals.

They had names like Russell

And Robert and Richard.

When they talked to us,

They looked off

Toward the sky,

Nodding indifferently.

They wore flip flops

Or boat shoes,

Flowery disco shirts,

Or Izods.

We were outclassed

And they knew it.

They cleared their throats

When they entered

Our drug den.

Their girlfriends

Who were all

Going to be nurses,

Accessories,

They didn’t dare

Bring them.
