You didn't earn it.

If you are around me,
and I've been drinking,
start drinking,
keep us on the same plane, friend.
Otherwise all we are going to do
is draw lines,
you'll say something like I lost my ****,
I'll say something like you never live,
same circle every time.

I'm going to cut the dense night to ribbons,
and you are always invited to join,
but don't sit and criticize while I lose my mind,
lose it with me,
keep it on the same plane,
otherwise in the morning
I'll be guilty,
and you will be a friend short
of making a name for yourself.

There are times
when I see as you see.
When the sun has set
and the points collide.

I stradle my chair
and stare
as the world around me
is lost
