The First Drink

lucid and melancholy 
 i feel fine 
 been rough too
 have a drink 
 it will get you in the mood
 or take you down the creek 
 again tore up from the 
 floor up
 spoken to me 
 one day at a time 
 blacked out and fine
 where are my shoes
 vague flashes 
 really bad editing 
 is my life 
 drowned in regret
