Hitting Bottom- Bikini That Is

when younger once
i stuck a sharpened
pencil up my right
nostril while listening
to Swordfishtrombone
and thinking Waits' very
own "I'd rather have a
bottle in front of me then
a frontal lobotomy" so
took another shot playing
Russian roulette with
tequila waiting for the
worm thinking thoughts
that i thought i'd forgotten
but the brain is a beautiful
sponge soaking up spills
of fifty shades of grey 
matter that doesn't matter
after all i don't wear square
pants
