21st Birthday

Healing
after I woke up
in a pool
of applesauce and veggies

Stuck beside a wall
and clouds mad of porcelain

Why is my tooth loose?
Where is my left sock?
And if the ringing in my ear won't stop
silence will hurt.

Icing on the cake 
Twisted my leg dancing
Now I walk like a song.

Things I won't remember tomorrow
Flashing lights
Seats filled elbow to elbow
the movie...

The Day I Became Legal to be Illegal.
