BROMANCE

We slept together on the floor like hounds
from the time we could walk and piss standing up
you were always around, not just for the meal but
for work that had to be done moving into my
new apartment five flights up
knowing we'd be laughing and poking at each other
for being a stupid fuck up 
getting kicked out, again 
i'd hook you round your neck 
and slap you in the nuts
and always be the friend who'd understand the joke
from way back when.
If I had a brother he'd be like you
of course, I'm only saying because I drank a few.
