bathroom mini-bar (drunken poet blood)
by Andrew S Adamsbear my scars for all to see
drown in a drink of apathy
mixed with the days i hoped
and over the rocks on which my ship broke
busted and twisted and messed up life
wreckage of which has washed away.
so, you will only view what little
has washed up on shore.
and these scraps of damp wood
do nothing right quite like they should
the telling signs are none but doubt-
and the warning lights so bright, burnt out.
so drown the world in my drink
and wash me down the bathroom sink
along with the blood
flowing from the scars. 03/08/2003 Posted on 03/09/2003
