Chocolate and hollands hope
They walk in
with pseudo sensibly
just jeans and t-shirt
nobility
their hands are clean
but their mouths are frothy
I smell
Jack Daniels and day old coffee
They wander
Lightheaded
all sweats and tie dye
frosted Rastafarians
from the right side of the tracks
surrounded by young blood
Begging for just a little bit of dope
I smell chocolate and Holland's hope
They panic
Dreading
All pocket protectors and paper clips
Swaddled in flannel
you'd think they knew it all
I smell is tears and adderall
