Narrow Straw

I wake up weary gnashing mauling get me out of here please Daybreaks dustbin as I lay there on the pillow of my dreams Not again not this curse-ed sunlight again A vaccine please to end this this throat swallowing attempt at living And I trudge through the streets tired some fume of spent and spent will slapped and knocked to left from right the unfeeling daze of to much intimidating molested at every turn Save me save me the last drop of alcohol pickle my soul inject me please with something at least to fill me in gurgling veins with the bubble fizz of anything Separate my eye lids heads to heavy to lift but suck on the straw of life Yes, keep it up keep sucking on that narrow straw of life
