Uncertain jerks,
prepare to prove
I am not drunk,
but merely tired;
yet wired
to this chair am I
and cannot move.
Please lift, you lids!
Cast off the lead
that weighs you down,
and pulls you shut.
Here, but
for the pulsing lights,
I could be dead.
A bladder full
of deep regret
is moving me.
I see, I think,
a sink,
tempting me to flow.
I’m feeling wet.
Oh hell, oh damn!
Now I’m awake!
They’ll see me here!
They’ll see me squirm!
I turn
away from leering eyes.
I’ve pissed a lake.
Perhaps I may
have found an out!
My glass of beer,
still in my grip,
let slip,
then swear and leap as ale
splashes about.
“Oh dear, old boy,
you’ve spilt the lot;
soon mop it up.”
“ Think beer’s bad,
Uh’ve had
a fleeling that the smell
was off, a jot”
Uncertain jerks,
where have you gone?
I walk again.
Head for the door,
the floor
is swimming as I go,
with flies undone.
