Night Before
When I woke up on saturday I could still smell
the stagnant smoke filled air from the night before.
Beer bottles littered the kitchen countertops like so
many bodies spread across the couches and floor.
I wake up early, even after a night of heavy drinking,
my head pounding out and my sinuses clogged. Alka
Seltzer will do the trick, at least for now. Later though
after the headache wears off, the dull throb of my hangover
will kick in, making everything seem slightly hazy.
I find an empty spot on the couch and turn on the tv. As
the old sitcoms come and go, so do the bodies…First the
dreary eyed blinking then a groan..the jingling of keys
and then the slam of a door. By three the house is empty,
nothing left except the memories, the bottles, and myself.
Guess its time to start cleaning.
