they played

they played word games
and dice games,
gambled for sex acts
and painted the fridge
in primary colours.

they shared books and beers,
laughed at toilet humour,
hung out of windows and
drank coffee by the bucket
full around the kitchen table.

they told jokes about
serial killers, made
love on the beach,
shopped at markets and
yelled abuse at television
personalities and right wing politians.

 
they had parties,
ate at friends houses,
kept spare change
in a jar and smoked joints
in the reeds of the cities river.

they caught trains
for no reason,
waited at staitions,
told stories of their pasts
and slowly wove their
futures together.

they had fantasies
to fulfil, but
neither if them
were working to
a timetable.
