2. All the words

All the words

I owned all their albums
I knew all the words
When their songs came on the radio
I sang along so loud.

We went to their shows, and
we screamed all the words.
I told you they were my favorite band, ever.
I never really liked them.
I just wanted you to think I did.

1. The taste of whiskey

The taste of whiskey

The taste of whiskey in my mouth reminds me of
the taste of whiskey on your lips which reminds me of
those so many nights of-- did we drink that much then-- did we
really do all that?

Are those memories of the taste of whiskey mine,
or did I make them up drinking whiskey some night?
