Craving Blindness

She says I'm perfect 
to some degree. 
Doesn't really sound 
like me. 
  
Too much symbolism 
gonna give me an embolism 
Or something similarly severe. 
Ain't it clear exactly how 
badly I need a beer? 
  
I stumbled up here from the rear. 
Lemme tell ya: 
it's pretty fair back there. 
But, these damned sharers 
of air have proven to be 
quite the snare. 
  
Punish them or wilt in  
comfortable obscurity? 
Doesn't really sound 
like me.
