I had entered the blue lights And fog of the joint Mostly to become oblivious Tip of elbow And Gin colicky By sunken treasured Green olive No pimento To dissolve through the juniper taste Salty swill And swilling
And would to the extent Of almost un noticing The cantor of would be stallions Surrounding my ****** Their prance intent On heightening my heel A good five inches That oblivion Hooked Spiked over Curved steel To balance Gin effects Over the bottom of The barstool
A mighty swig Or two or five Might notice their buck And haws enough To grind stilettos Into dance floor The Stones in the mix Pivoting my drunken hips Enough to cradle a hand Or three
Enough to squint against Red rimmed eyes Displace my empty With a poor replacement Cheap thrills Vain attempts At “No” That came out of my Movements “Yes”
But soon the ponies ran As anger bent **** And flooze Into something ugly Curved and toppled over To the floor That did not deserve red shoes Or top shelf Anything
As hard as I try I cannot remember dissolving I do not remember the hands That tried to catch my fall On my way down To fast escape
By my stool (The second from the end near the tray of olives and maraschino cherries) There might be a marker That reads “Here lies Jen, you should have seen her drink”
In that world there were a lot of maybes I just don’t know
