Tossing beer cans into the canal Not worrying about the consequences As young and reckless as we were Watching the water rush by Talking about our adventures Women who we had been with Times we should have died Since we last talked Just as the water flows to the ocean Our conversation drifts back To when we were younger Than we are now with real beards Jobs and responsibilities To times when we had neither School boys doing school boy things Another sip of beer to forget The burden of adulthood And those days we can’t get back
