Our Patio

By shortandpretentious

On our patio,
distance means nothing to us
we don't budge an inch.

On our patio,
we don't give a fuck about nothin
but ourselves and each other.

Cigarette smoke acts like a guarding wall
over there, that's the hinterland
to our patio.

On our patio
we are fucking Gods
laughing screaming

We live for our patio
and would die for it too
given the opportunity.

One day the world will be our patio
But for now it's right here so fuck it
give me another square.
