feeling lively


i'm staying up
until my eyes
bleed

i'm going to keep
sipping these drinks
until i fall
asleep
in the street

i want a piggy back
ride through the rough
side of town.

i won't pee
on the same
toilets as the prostitutes
because
there isn't
any toilet paper,

i want to climb a mountain,
wring out my shirts full of sweat
into water bottles
to suck back down

my heart's pounding so hard
that i might be
having a
heart attack.



bury me where i fall,
right here on this bar,
because
every waking moment
feels like heaven
somehow.

(p.s. the sink broke )

    perfect line. good poem. crazy sink breakage, i don't know how one smashes such a thing unless you're brawling or make sexing.
