Romeo Naces Poet Free verse

Doggoned Hangover

I shake my head like a dog
that just crawled out of a pond;
 with gratified grunts I stretch,
     struggling to yawn away 
          sweet seductions 
                of sleep
        from groggy bottles 
                  deep.

  Bone weary, dry mouth, dusty,
muscles aching, stomach souring,
 whiff of stale beer in my breath;
  like an overripe banana I wilt,
     and, yeah, it surprises me 
                    not
      that I feel rotten, stinking 
                   a lot.
