Hungover Ego

Tripped over your intoxication of a darkly delivered potent punch flowing in absurd contradictions, wallowing mid drunkenly exhilarated gulps of denial's cursed vintage, swallowing elixir's exhales in a shot glass engulfing reflection's accelerated fire, bourgeois Machiavellianism slurs topped off machinations' idiosyncratic delusions, 'twixt boozy sips of head game’s hungover ego

Wonderful irreverently funny poem, Paloma. I'll pass on imbibing anymore of the fermented frivolity packed in this peppermint peach schapps of a poem. Great word play in this one. Love and peace to you.

I feel a bit woozy after reading this and the room is spinning, I'm thinking this poem far exceeds 100 proof. But, I can't help drinking it a little more. This is definitely intoxicating Paloma and one of your best in my opinion.

I can't believe you only got 4 comments on this poem. This is so good. I just don't get it. I really don't get it. I though a poetry site was to share poetry and thoughts and ideas. Let a poet know what you think about what they write but it doesn't seem that way. here it is post a poem and collect views, whatever the hell good they are for. Sorry to rant but it is disheartening. Loved your poem Paloma.
