WE ARE DIFFERENT COMPANY

 from polyvore.com

she stops her homey knitting 
stops dressing like a retro-granny
    and
ignores the guy who tries too hard
    in
mismatched bad-fitting charity shop tweed

    now
    she 
    snogs
    another 
    her
both in second-hand double-denim
from the wednesday market
    and
    she
    cuts
    her
    hair
in tough black spikes
    but
    always
wears a hat when she goes back home

    and 
a square-guy
the must-fit-in guy 
with a flexible past 
    of
stalin-like revisionism
    he 
    snogged 
    a  
    him - snogged the tweed guy
    on
    the
    train
after that gig

    but 
also he didnt - of course he didn't

    or 
he did - but REALLY drunk - as a laugh
    or
sober and for youthful free experimentation
    
  or 
    even 
      for 
        love

it depends
    on
    the
company he's in

from thebetaband.co.uk

like i'd tell some people i threw up on my own lap
    in 
    the 
Water Rats that time
    and
    only
    a
    barmaid noticed
    and
    it
    was
    only
liquid and nuts anyway - and early
  so
    it 
      didnt
        count

and
  to
    others
      i just say 
   
    the 
    band 
    was 
    good
