Hungover

Whilst I hover here wondering if i'll be sick The hazy details of the nights debauchery Become clearer with every retch, And nothing. Who took that photo with the silly face? I really thought id be able to pace Myself this time; But its shouldnt's and never agains all morning in the loo. The bad techno and overplayed hits Still echop through my pounding head, Recently obliterated by that dionysian nectar. The midday sun now pours through my iris Ill adjusted to to anything mut multicoloured strobes. Another hopeful attempt to spew hits me, Only to be met with dissapointment. Cralwing from the linoleum jail, I call a friend to reminisce And hes the same as me, only he pulled and barely rememebers. And so i enter the platic prison for a last attempt to purge, but nothings there. Looking in the mirror telles me to pull myself together, A sparkling alka-seltzer cocktail takes the edge off And I remember that hangovers only last a day, whilst forgotten memories lie in obscurity forever.
