INTOXICATION

Bottle after bottle

from puncheon

to white oak

to aleze

a few cockburns 

from day to day

and these headaches, oh

they make me sway

between reality

for what I thought 

I wanted to be

is now just 

nauseating me

So,I throw  up

these self-inflicted

overdoses

of dreams

that  never 

made me happy

Aspirations

to bring out the real me

all that  I expected

this life to be

Some beers

please?

So I could cuddle

and cry

and dream another dream

by this roadside

destination

of disappointment?

Best I rock  back my panty

and pee on this pavement

to commemorate 

another dream

That was not worth 

a bottle of scream

Please

for the Liver

A survivor,

I am ,of harm!

And Cheers Oh

 to

 dreams

these subconscious thoughts

that were not worth

ah damn!
