You gave me a mix tape at the bus stop.
Cat Stevens and the Grateful Dead.
You wrote happy Wednesday on it
and smoked a cigarette.
We sniffed leather protector after school.
You made the bullies think that I was cool.
And you said, “Do you wanna see my penis?”
We drank your parents’ whiskey and we gave
each other head.
We drove the car into the country.
Rebels of privilege getting high. We flew. We crashed.
Blood at the river. The farmer’s wife held me as I cried.
We sniffed leather protector after school.
You made the bullies think that I was cool.
And you said, “Do you wanna see my penis?”
We drank your parents’ whiskey and we gave
each other head.
You gave me so many of my firsts.
Oh, everything was new.
And I’ll love you all my life. My rebel of privilege. Oh, my rebel of privilege. Oh, my rebel of
privilege.
