all is sweat, dripping, a shower of last nights beer and Barbie
pouring out this battered skin and muscles aching for rest
only to start again, red wine and lager , at another invite.
My God , this is supposed to be a vacation! I live the life large,
ticking over with my one kidney, the only one that I was born with,
and all I really want to do is scream into the deafness surrounding
my every move, and laugh at the futility of it all, while I fill my glass.
