six degrees of gin and tonic with my hangover
serendipity seems a flawed interpretation
of flowing tympanic progressions which blossom
all the shades of a Cro-Magnon Lite Brite tm
Agony and Ecstasy through with their fight, made up.
the only witness in shards beneath the table by my face
which feels pulled out of shape and tight enough
to split coherency into a jigsaw puzzle
with just enough color squeezed in
to create a border lacking any central interest
an oil spot where dim logic plays rummy with a mouthful of sand
and a growing sense of mortality
somewhere there is laughing.
I hope that it's not me.
in my story, the main character is trying to piece together his night of "forgetfulness" and deciding that maybe memory's agendas should not be questioned. enjoy, and feel free to comment if moved to do so. :) (Smile) thank you!

the last sentence made me nod which = good stuff.
i love the detached feeling and not necessarily teh dry cotton mouth that always seems to follow after one too many drinks. the story is strong because you are a story teller however i think bretts been having too much influence on you. the gameboy tm now the litebrite? yes indeed i wanted one of those and never got on. that doesn't mean you can go and become brett the second. thats more lafettes than i can handle!! lol ;) (Wink) i can definitely tell your style is molding but i've noticed that you change with the seasons. anyway the metaphors here are perfect. really i think we're all drunk all the time, otherwise why would be be making the most ridiculous decisions?
