Three Men and a Tree

(Written for 'El Compo' at the Alt Party Afterparty, where it was part of a performance with Die Rebels and gained 1st place. Slightly edited later.)

And in this fashion it took place:
Three men, not yet tired of years together, 
     sat below a leafless tree in a gray winter, 
     empty of soul
A word or two passed as a steaming glass bottle passed from one shivering hand
     to another in a kiss of friendship
How quickly the years have passed -- in ambition, in dreams, in drunk rebellion
Three men sat on the verge of this new year, as they would for so many more
And pondered to themselves about time
