I take 3 steps forward, and 1 step back .
I was sober almost 4 months.
Doing swell, the job, prolific writing.
and then, wham, A bottle of Absinthe in two hours,
Not even Van Gogh on the box or the worm wood could
make sense of the garbled words I wrote.
**** Hemingway and Fitzgerald. And Stein can go to Hell.
