Long Hangover Poems

The atmosphere is stagnant,
Stagnant with discontented gluttons,
Tangled with tricks and deceptions,
Soaked with indoctrination,

My mother-in-law
drinks her morning gin
out of a pint-size Mason jar,
and self-righteously prides herself
for not wasting water by adding any in
and for not pouring or drinking
before her biscuit and red-gravy breakfast,
usually about eight a.m.
now that she's...

morning dew, it’s
fresh and I’m
actually feeling
brand new – that’s
something new

circles…I’m spinning
around and round!
Going insane,
running in the rain
and not singing the
blues 
Out of the blue,
I’ve lost my other
shoe…sick...

My habits bite me hard in the ass again

I don’t wanna know your dark side and I don’t want...

One minute I’m up, the next I’m down.
