White Girl Needs a Drink
In the years that passed after breakfast.
Wasting> was the conquered man obsessed?
Conversing over cocktails, some sort of happy hour.
Everyone's smiling but no one is really happy.
Who are they kidding?
Clock say's minutes past whenever
sends the treadmill running home to bedtime.
Chasing the closing credits to your diary.
A space log of daily events.
Don't forget what you saw.
White girl needs a drink
Underwater unwilling to sink.
White girl needs a drink
I seldom think about what she's doing without.
White girl needs a drink
I'm tired now. I said leave me be.
White girl needs a drink
Can't I help being quiet while others speak?
Write it down, right or wrong.
Turn left for what's left over.
Laying words, greeting cards, headlines.
Weaknesses publicized.
Take up a paper route
Stop delivering bad news collected from door to door.
Pain builds character.
It did in my case.
Don't subscribe to that pointed view.
Text book nut case saving face in mason jars.
Guarding the perimeter
with a chip on one shoulder and the
worlds weight on the other.
Chris Columbus of a shot glass
leaving the old world every morning
to discover the new.
Sailing so far to end up where?
Drinking to make things fair.
Ease up on me.
I'm just beginning to enjoy my hangover.
