The parting shot

they hung out
talked crap
didn't shave
shot the breeze
went places
made love
dreamt dreams
decided no babies
joined greenpeace
got arrested
smoked pot
got arrested
reached for the stars
got arrested
counted the stars
got arrested
did nothing
got arrested
made plans
rode bicycles
wrote poetry
petitioned the PM
went to court
took back the 70s
vowed to stay true
to the cause
to each other
until it was time
for her to wake up
and get married
to a banker.
he shaved.
