THE DRUNKENING

THE DRUNKENING

 

  

The drunkening is underway

and I’ll say it wasn’t my fault

but I know it was

fully an occurrence

of my own choosing

 

I’ll heartily swallow

the rotgut whiskey

and without memory

stumble back

to the train station

avoiding law enforcement

 

on auto pilot

I’ll catch the right train;

sip an extra large coffee;

get off at the right stop

 

be awakened early morning;

head butts from anxious mutt

wanting to shit

before a rising sun

 

I’ll say it wasn’t my fault

but I know I’m full of shit

 

the world knows it

I know it

Even the dog defecating freely

on a foggy morning

before a rising sun  knows it

 

Apparently, I didn’t fool

a single fucking soul.
