alcoholism
occasionally i go out drinking
one, two
not there yet
three, four
getting there
five, six
a bit more
seven, eight
a couple more for the road
nine, ten
there!
nice and fuzzy
free from my inner demons
for the time being
able to speak whatever i want
without worrying how i seem
if a woman catches my eye i say,
"beware my countenance
for i am baccus incarnate
merlot for blood
pilsner for skin
stout for hair
aftershock, my eyes
keep away,
lest you become drunk too."
i want to feel like this all the time
but i'm out of money
shit
