An Ode To Being Drunk! Poem by Anita Atina

An Ode To Being Drunk!

Rating: 4.5


Wobbly headed, seeing double, slow to react,

Will my head float away if I don’t hold it down?

Speech tripping, tongue thickened,

Can I drink anymore!



Eyelids threaten to close as I walk,

The worlds in slow mo,

Sleep beckons with seductive charms,

Can I drink anymore?



I thought drinking was a panacea to forgetfulness,

No one told me that I would remember more vividly,

What brought me to this state in the first place!

Can I drink anymore?



What joy, what sorrow, what bliss,

Is this it?

Drinking to forget and remembering more,

Can I drink anymore?
