Belligerent Poetry

another day spent shaking

another day spent shaking
two thirds of a bottle of JW Red
will do that to you
or so i hear told
i wouldn't know - out cold.
this morning in a calm panic (half drunk)
turned out unnecessary and unscathed
watched women grow up, boys turn to girls
and spent a nice hour
in a parking lot
with a pretty lady
whiling away
the early parts of our lives
her seven me two
and off alone into the
quiet night.
