i'll take this in small doses, thank you

as i awoke. rude awakening. hello tom
an hour before the sunrise but light enough
                          to find my way to safehaven.
peeling off the soot, the dirt and memories
in all other cases, likely to have been forgotten.
   left behind on the bench that          (and who the hell was she again?)
watched the first creatures of morning
crawling.       writhing.     flapping and falling

so on the road in a hotel on the road
and that wine tasted good didn't it?
two bottles bought with the elephants
                            observing with their
            cautiously optimistic distance

and i staved off sleep for so long
like some type of prize fighter
      my goal: the end of the bottle,
another set, another dance
i'm ready for                  friday
and i'm ready for conversation
    coffee, drinking, jumping and more
    dancing
