When are we going to stop
drinking,
partying,
smoking pot,
spiking everything—
being with people we don't even like.

When are we going to stop
wasting weekends,
wasting dimes—
being in jobs we barely even like.

When are we going to start
waking up at 7:00 A.M.,
actually caring about how we look,
start saving—
loving what we do.

When will we travel?
Start being in a prosperous relationship?
Be with people we actually like?

When will we make movies
write books,
take photographs,
paint the moon.

When will we ever go out?
for ice cream,
coffee and movies?

When will we start giving chances,
try giving it a shot.

When?
