Riot Grrrls

Meg & me were friends
When we were in school
We were the only riot grrrls
That we knew
Summer jobs at the Oak Mall
Cinemas 1 & 2
We saw every movie
We could sit through
Gin in soda cups
When we'd work nights
The projectionist gave us weed
Sometimes

& we'd drive around
In my father's Taurus
Singing along with the tapes
That Meg made us

Meg went crazy we lost touch
I don't think of her much
I've got kids of my own
The oldest half grown
I left for Reed that fall
& Meg got fired
But we'd talk on the phone
Most nights 'til we got tired
I made friends with girls my age
Meg drank on her own
& when the money ran out
She moved home

& we'd drive around
When I came home for Christmas
Wondering if we ran
Who'd miss us
