Security got mad at my dad for buying us Export cans,

I see ghosts in all the places we would go,
Observing apparitions in familiar locations from the past.

Comparing people's movements to tectonic plates but asserting that despite changes, they are not worlds apart.
But we're not worlds away.
Stressing the proximity of individuals despite life's shifts.

Describing a failed attempt at a productive endeavor.
But we slept all day.
Revealing the outcome of the intended church visit.
Quayhole nights to Riverside,
Mentioning specific locations and activities during nights spent from Quayhole to Riverside.
Our broken hearts would centralise around the wall where we'd hide the wine,

Reflecting on a period of youthful decline.
I'd never felt so alive,
Expressing intense feelings of vitality during a particular time.
