Triptych for a Drunk Couple
1
A walk through
the neighborhood
last night. We
climbed the trees
and danced in the streets.
What a wonderful, confusing,
conflicting time.
2
Vomit.
Vomit everywhere.
What a miserable
tramp. A new
era for our relationship:
over.

these two
bickering
drunks
are the
last thing
I
need
tonight
of all
nights
they have
to do this
jesus
what is
wrong
with them
don’t they
realize
I
have to
be up
in the
morning.
