Wasted

In the air, blows my hair
            In my eyes, a blank stare
                                          I’m just wasted
Too much wine, it’s divine
               The most flavorful vine 
                                         That I’ve tasted

Have to go, even though
            I can’t drive, that I know
                                                 Call a taxi

Stomach churns, how it burns
                 Artichoke dip returns
                                           Mouth is waxy 

I’m not well, they can tell
                     Like a turkey from hell
                                     That’s been basted

Over there, people stare
    They just laugh, they don’t care
                                         That I’m wasted
