you keep drinking whiskey like that,
like there's no such thing as spins
or bends, you're going to talk too fast
inside a no-exit hole
and flap your lips
on topics we're not supposed to know.

and no one will stop you,
and then everyone will understand in the morning
if they were sober enough to remember
the night before.

they'll understand that there's reason
why you never get laid even though
you easily could and why you don't wear shorts.

and let me tell you,
that shit's awkward.
