Pass me the bottle
to my youth,
because I am on another
bender.
I think it all started
when I just 16.
My parents were gone.
The liquor cabinet was full
of 750ml bottles
of
of
Yes, AL CO HOL!!
One little sip
of the amber hue
colored liquid
wouldn't hurt,
Would it?
I sure hope not.
Because I was
Alco-curious.
Down the hatch the first shot went.
Damn!
Oh lord, it burned like hell
going down my throat.
My intestinal track
was screaming bloody murder at me
to stop this insanity.
Then came the second and third and fourth shot.
And it tasted so so good.
Mmmm mmmm mmmmm
After a night spent
in a spinning room
of mystical illusions
and countless prayers
to the only porcelain God I knew,
I felt
like I needed more.
It all started on a Friday
and ended on Sunday.
The day in which prayers
to all the gods came full curcle.
Four empty bottles laid
scattered across the carpeted floor
and me laying under the coffee table,
with only my plaid boxer shorts and socks on.
My eyes would only half open
and my head was pounding
like a jack hammer and I knew why.
I sought pure enjoyment at that moment.
My first teenage bender.
I truly loved every minute of it
or I think I did. I don't remember it.
Maybe the following weekend
would be my second.
