In my cups I said grace at supper
on bar stools and raucous laughter
with my dreams hiding inside fog.
I lived inside the neon signs.
Will I know normal? I'll kiss you
when I've had a hair of the dog.

I saw you on my horizon.
I drank to your health.
I went to AA and confessed.
Skunk coffee and stale donuts
shaking sweat and smoking
an endless chain of cigarettes.
