The morning after,
Early new day;
“Bar hair” and Fishbowls,
Smell of smoke,
Sore throat-
Subtle suggestions: Let’s walk down by the river.
Last night’s concepts seem less conducive to life.
Now,
Light which sneaks
Through venetians blinds.
_even though they are closed.
Painful to eyes-
And then a piss.
Then a brush of teeth,
Under dry lips.
Moving,
Aching,
Wasting,
Stiff tender bits-
The evening before, knowing full well it would come to this.
Downtown: the nightlife, old friends, the drinks, to witness.
