sprinkled mist on my face

It felt good, for a while, i somehow would like "it satisfied me for a while" at this place.
but I hungered for red meat,
the kind of meal that leaves you sprawled not sure, but maybe staying in 1st person would also work.
on the couch with your belt undone
and the tv flashing nonsense
that infiltrates your dreams
as you snore, fart, and drool.
i love the lines "tv flashing nonsense that infiltrates your dreams"
