my tongue is surrounded by the buoyancy of rich liquor a sweet warmth covers my throat and fills my mouth as i exhale its wonderful alcohol vapor tolerance vales me and you don’t piss me off so much i light a cigarette and stare into the mirror behind the bottles lining the back of the bar few moments in life are peaceful this was bliss i recognized the words were intended for me “can you put out your cigarette please” bitch you can go to the nonsmoking bar down the street my daydream continues as i turn towards her voice further more you can kiss my ass on your way, all my thoughts stop like a moron i set coordination lost but my eyes focused “the most beautiful” without thought unable to speak i took one more deep hit savoring the sweet toxins i held in my lungs i pushed the butt into the others that filled the ash tray still not able to articulate i lean back and blow the cloud to the ceiling to keep it from getting into
anyone’s face
ever
