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.
