Last night, out on town
I had my first one three hours
After the others.

Had one with their
Every second.
All night.

I could smell the city
On my girlfriend's hair.
Feel the warmth

Of her hand when I
Held it to keep
Her steady.

I was there. Almost
Completely sober.
Present.

I could sense everything.

Woke up feeling
Fresh. Unafraid.
Not guilty.

I think I
Won
One.
