The monkey leaned down,
whispered in my ear
"Don't forget to pick up more beer."
I nodded in agreement,
I nodded in rhythm
with the demons' song.
They whistled and
they smiled and
did the backstroke,
jauntily along,
through the river of whiskey
that I had tried
to drown them with.
A thousand-toothed yawn,
the monster finds it all too easy.
I don't even put up a fight,
I sit down at night
and forget.
I forgot.
